[edit] Licensing

This photograph is a derivative work of art based on a miniature created and copyrighted by Games Workshop. As such, it is used on Wikipedia under Fair Use guidelines only.

This is a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art. As such it is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) who owns copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works.

Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright.

It is believed that the use of a picture

to illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question,
to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art
or to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs

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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as copyright information on the original artwork.

The authors of the image (ThomaK WarheaD and Pak21) have released their rights to the photograph itself - meaning that the image enters the public domain the moment Games Workshop's copyright on the miniature design expires (a long way in the future as of 2006). As stated above, until that time the photograph may only be used under Fair Use guidelines.

I, the creator of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide.
In case this is not legally possible,
I grant any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

[edit] Fair use for Dreadnought (Warhammer 40,000)

This image, Ultramarines Dreadnought.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Pak21) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

No equivalent free image can be created
It adds significantly to the article by displaying a characteristic miniature of the vehicle being discussed
The use of this image on Wikipedia will have no impact on the commercial value of the miniature or any other works the miniature is currently used in.
