Rationale of fair use for TimeSplitters 2 edit

The image Image:TS2 Chicago.jpg is being linked here and it is felt that it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is of lower resolution than the original screenshot (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
2. No free or public domain images equivalent can be found, because this is an in-game screenshot.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the video game in any way.
4. The image is being used for informational purposes only, to illustrate the first person perspective and style of the game, and its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way.

This image is a screenshot from a video game, and its copyright is most likely held by the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution screenshots to visually identify the game in question on the English Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, constitutes fair use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image may be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TS2_Chicago.jpg true
