Non-free use in Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
[edit]Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- Microsoft has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
- It is a low resolution screenshot of a video game.
- It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the video game in any way.
- The image is being used solely for informative purposes, as it serves to illustrate various aspects of the game that are discussed in the article.
Fair-use in Genie Engine
[edit]This image is subject to copyright, however, its use constitute fair-use under United States laws for the following reasons:
- The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game;
- Use of this image does not limit or prevent the license holders' ability to sell the game;
- No substitute is available under a free license, a shot that better shows off the engine advancements would be preferable;
- The image is being used to show how the Genie Engine advanced from The Rise of Rome to Age of Empires II.
- The image is widely distributed across the Internet already, so its use on Wikipedia does not have much more of a significant impact on the license holders.
