Fair use rationale in the article NEWSPAPER

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

1. The image is only being used in the article about the newspaper for informational and educational purposes.
2. The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
3. The image is the primary means of visual identification of the newspaper.
4. The image is a low resolution image, in an inferior graphics format.
5. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
6. The use of this image will not affect the value of the original work.
7. The use of this image will not 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 newspaper.

Non-free use in VIDEO GAME COVER ART

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

1. DEVELOPER has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
2. The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article.
3. The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
4. The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its saleability in any way.

Non-free use in VIDEO GAME SCREENSHOT

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

1. DEVELOPER has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
2. It is a low resolution screenshot of a video game.
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the video game in any way.
4. The image is being used solely for informative purposes, as it serves to illustrate the form in which the game takes place.

Rationale of fair use for MUSIC VIDEO SCREENSHOT

1. The image is a screenshot from a promotional music video originally created by DEVELOPER and intended for wide distribution.
2. The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original video (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
4. The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or music video in any way.
5. The screenshot is intended to represent the nature of the single.
6. The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single or music video in any way.
