Fair use for Earth Defense Force 2017 edit

This cover art image, Earth defense force 2017 box art.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (PyroGamer) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. the cover is used to represent a retail video game;
2. this image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is;
3. the image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game;
4. the image does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the game or hinder their ability to distribute the IP in question in any way.
