Rationale for fair use in Mercs edit

1. No free or public domain images have been located.
2. The image is of lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the product in any way.
4. This is the artwork, intended by Capcom for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
5. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
6. The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original product in any way.
