We believe it is fair to use screenshots of games to represent games and the characters, vehicles and locations in those games. We also believe that it is fair to use existing screenshots for that purpose, since we (by default) allow images to be reproduced elsewhere. Credit will be given where due. However, if the copyright holder wishes to dispute our use of an image, it should be discussed on the talk page for the image or [http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/index.php?title=Grand_Theft_Wiki_talk:Copyright&action=edit§ion=new this page]. | |||
