[edit] Rationale for fair use in Star Fox (1993 video game)

• The public display of the image is in no way detrimental to copyright holder's commercial interests
• The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way.
• This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
• The image is of lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of inferior quality)
• No free or public domain images equivalent can be found, because this is the original artwork.

[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.

Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
