[edit] Fair Use Rationale in Imperial Guard (Warhammer 40,000)

It is felt that this qualifies as fair use since no quivalent free images can be created, the image adds to the article in question, and no negative impact on the product displayed is expected for either Games Workshop(owner of the copyright of the image) or THQ(puplisher of the game).
The image is solely used within a context of discussion on the game from which the image is taken.

[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.
