Summary edit

Fair use rationale edit

Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Adventure (Atari 2600)

• The cover is used to represent a well-known and significant video game
• 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 being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
• The image does not limit Activision's ability to sell the game

• It is merely the photographic image of a product which is (or was) available for sale in stores, just as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coca-cola_50cl_white-bg.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cocacola_caffeine_free.jpg are. (I hereby publicly challenge anyone to find a single court case which was not overruled, in which it was deemed illegal to post a photograph which merely represents the external (unopened) product available for sale in stores (for reason of copyright; obviously 'adult' images have been excluded from being seen on the web where children can view them) --Harel (talk) 21:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC) )
