Summary edit
| Description |
This is the cover art of The Evil Dead - C64. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to Palace Software. |
|---|---|
| Source |
It is believed that the cover art can or could be obtained from the publisher or studio. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire front cover. Because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original video cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the video cover creator's ability to provide video cover design services and in turn marketing video to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
As a video cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the video would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of the video cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |

Cover art for "The Evil Dead", for the Commodore 64. Copyright Palace Software.
Fair Use Rationale edit
Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article The Evil Dead (video game)
- The cover is used to represent a notable video game title developed and/or published by a large video game manufacturer
- This image has been used in several Japanese websites as well as in other websites in other languages, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
- The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
- The image does not limit Atari's ability to sell the game
