[edit] Summary

Box art of Rockman (Megaman in the U.S.) for the Famicom.

[edit] Fair use in Mega Man (video game)

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. Capcom has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
2. The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article.
3. The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
4. The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way.

[edit] Licensing

This image is cover art for a video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art to illustrate the packaging of the game in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Usage: This template accepts the platform(s) as parameter to better categorize the tagged image. {{Non-free game cover|Macintosh|Linux|Windows}} or {{Non-free game cover|Macintosh}} or just {{Non-free game cover}} if the platform is unknown.
