Fair use rationale for The Typing of the Dead edit
| Description |
Box art for The Typing of the Dead (PC game). |
|---|---|
| Source |
Promotional material released by the game publisher, or derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the game cover. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant, as the copyright will still be held by the game publisher. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
Entire front cover is used. |
| Low resolution? |
Yes. |
| Purpose of use |
The primary means of visual identification of the subject of the The Typing of the Dead article. |
| Replaceable? |
Copyrighted game cover, so no free alternative can exist. |
| Other information |
It is inconceivable that the use of a low resolution image of the box art in any way limits the game publishers ability to sell the game. It is also not of sufficient resolution to be usable for box art on bootlegged games. The use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible, as game publishers often release the box art online in advance, for promotional purposes. |
