Fair use for Legaia 2: Duel Saga edit

Although the image is subject to copyright it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• the game developer has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would provide the same information
• is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article
• it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the game in any way, but may instead encourage sales
• is being used in an informative way only and does not detract from the game
• is of low enough resolution that good copies could not be dreived from it

Image Source edit

• The image was derived from digital capture (photo/scan) of the video game's original box. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party. Copyright is held by the game's developer, Prokion. Claimed as fair use regardless.
