Problems with license

Hello Beland. I hope you could be helping me with this problem. I have just uploaded a screenshot photo to Wikimedia Commons. I screenshot it from the game Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, and I also mentioned the producers – Ensemble Studios and Microsoft Game Studios – but it still went "illegal". Here is the picture:

File:Yucatan map. AoE2.png

. What could I do to "legalize" it? If you can't help, do you know someone that can help me? Thanks.

I think the legal options to share copyrighted material like this are fairly limited:

• Claim "fair use" - Commons does not accept images that require this because it depends on context. Wikipedia does in some circumstances, because useful illustrations in encyclopedias are in the public interest, non-commercial, etc.
• Obtain the permission of the author of the software that produced it.
• Wait many years until the copyright expires.
• Vote in representatives who change copyright law.

Thank you for your reply, Beland. But still, I am a n00b when it comes to Commons. What is "Fair use"?

Should I rather ask the authors or claim fair use? What would work the best, in your opinion? - Jarhaugin 13:30 25 May 2012 (UTC)
