Hardware Wars

Portion used
Low resolution?

The image is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original work.

Purpose of use

The image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.

Replaceable?

As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image of the work would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or critical commentary.

Other information

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It illustrates an educational article about the film from which the screenshot was taken.
  2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, and provides vital visual information about the film's characters and the film's visual style of direction.
  3. The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the film.
  4. It is a low resolution image.
  5. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
  6. The film is copyrighted, and so the screenshot is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
