Fair use rationale for Image:Screenshot Download dot com.png

Image:Screenshot Download dot com.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

XSS On Download.com

Using the confirm link provided within the confirm e-mail sent to the address, causes NoScript to issue an XSS warning, blocking the confirmation of your e-mail address, and thus takes you to a 404 page.

This should be seriously noted. 66.168.19.135 (talk) 00:11, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there a specific link to the AVG download?

Saw other links removed but this has stayed. How is this specifically related to the subject of download.com more than other popular wares hosted there; or even least popular wares for that matter? There is already a link to download.com; shouldn't that be sufficient? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrun (talk • contribs) 21:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Logo?

Should I replace this logo with the new one? I've taken a screen shot of the logo directly from Download.com:

On the discussion page for this logo, I would put this code:
