 Fair use map |
This is a map of a level from a copyrighted computer or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company that published the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution images for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) depicted on the image in question 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 turn a profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. See Wikipedia:Copyrights and fair use rationale. |
