Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. |
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible. |
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Used only in one article about the magazine in question. Prominently displays the magazine's masthead and an example of a front page photo used to represent the magazine's subjects and the contents specifically within. Sufficiently low resolution to both respect the original copyright holder's rights and depict the low-fidelity nature of the magazine's typesetting and printing. |
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The use of a low resolution image of a work's cover will not impact the commercial viability of the work. |

Article | |
Portion used |
The entire front cover. Because the image is the publication cover, 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 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 cover creator's ability to provide design services and in turn marketing of items to the public. |
Replaceable? |
As a cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work. |
Other information |
Use of the publication cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
