This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers
qualifies as fair use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. | |

Article | |
Portion used |
The entire cover is used, 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 much lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality compared with the original. |
Purpose of use |
The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. 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 artwork, namely providing graphic design services to video publishing concerns and in turn marketing the video to the public. |
Replaceable? |
As cover art, 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 cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
