Whilst I agree with Wipqozn's answer entirely (and indeed that is the community consensus), I thought I'd expand on the comment made by him about remixes and the like, and open the floor for discussion around those.

Before the comments were purged on that question, OrigamiRobot and I were debating what constitutes an audiovisual artifact. The tl;dr version is:

OrigamiRobot: Whistling the tune doesn't count as an audiovisual artifact as it is dependent on the memory of the asker. An audio-visual artifact must be from the game in question.
Robotnik: What about recordings, like an orchestral recreation? They aren't dependent on the memory of an asker. "I have this recording of a band playing a song from a game, what is it?" Is a far cry from "I kinda sorta remember the tune, here it is"

There was a lot more to it than that, but that forms the basis of my argument: If someone has a recording, a picture or something of someone else playing, advertising (or performing a song from) a game, does that count as an audio-visual artifact?

I state this case because it seems that there are questions we have allowed to exist that fall into this category, and I feel like we as a community are yet to reach a consensus regarding these.
