[edit] Summary / Fair use rationale for Silent Hill 4: The Room

A screenshot from Silent Hill 4: The Room. Source [1], cropped and scaled down.

I am claiming fair use on the following grounds:

1. This image is being used on Wikipedia only to illustrate the text in Silent Hill 4: The Room, specifically that concerning the gameplay, the use of a first-person perspective, and the "hauntings" that appear in the game.
2. This is only a low resolution screenshot.
3. It seems very unlikely that Wikipedia's usage of this image will affect the copyright owner's rights to market or sell this image as they see fit, especially as it can already be accessed for free and had been released before the game itself.
4. There are no free images that can be used to replace this one, nor do any seem likely to come into existence for at least 80 years.

[edit] Licensing

This is a screenshot of a non-free copyrighted video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company or person that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Note: This tag should not be used for screenshots of free software; use the license tag corresponding to the software's license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}}.
