[edit] Summary

The image is of a public room inside Habbo Hotel, and it displays players interacting with other players inside the room. The coloured speech bubbles contain players' speech, and each player has a different coloured speech bubble depending on the color of their shirt.

[edit] Fair use rationale for image use on Habbo Hotel

The image is under copyright, however, its use on the Habbo Hotel article constitutes fair use under U.S. fair use laws, for the following reasons:

1. The image is a clear depiction of a public room, accessible to all players. The image displays the interface that all players encounter when inside a room. Because of this, the inclusion of the image in the article is crucial, as gameplay and interface is commonly referred to in the article.
2. No free or public domain images have been located to replace this image, nor could one be created and released under a free license that would provide the same or larger amount of information that this image provides. No free or public domain images can be located to replace this image, because Sulake, the license holder, has not released any images of the Hotel interface and gameplay under a free license.
3. This image is being used solely for informational purposes only, and its inclusion in the article is not being used to profit at all from the image.
4. This image does not hinder Sulake's ability to profit from the Habbo Hotel franchise in anyway whatsoever.
5. Images of different rooms inside the Hotel circulate the Internet, so this image's use on Wikipedia does not have much of a significant impact.
