Screenshot (big) of the PC Computer Game "Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin". You can see two anti-tank guns (dots on the horizon) aiming at the Soviet tank (yellow lines) who transports a squad of infantry. I'm contacting the developers about the use of screenshots in wikipedia but have no answer yet

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:Cmbb_paks_big.png true

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for video game screenshots. Either of the following may be helpful for stating the rationale: Template:Game rationale or Template:Non-free use rationale video game screenshot. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Fair use rationale in Combat Mission (computer game series)[edit]

It is contended that the use of this image qualifies as fair use in the article Combat Mission (computer game series) because:

• The games publisher has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
• The image is being used for identification purposes in the article on Combat Mission (computer game series).
• Simple prose could not generate the same identification abilities in the context of the above article.
• The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality
• The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way.
