| | | This is a [[wikipedia:Sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]] originally from a '''[[wikipedia:Copyright|copyrighted]] computer or video game''', and the '''copyright''' for it is most likely held by the company that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a '''limited number''' of '''web-resolution''' sprites for '''identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question''' or '''the copyrighted character(s) depicted by the sprite in question''' qualifies as '''[[wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]]''' under [[wikipedia:Copyright law of the United States|United States copyright law]], as such display '''does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material''', is '''not being used to turn a profit in this context''', and presents ideas that '''cannot be exhibited otherwise'''. See [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Copyrights|Wikipedia:Copyrights]] and [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]]. | ||
