Rationale for fair use in Cool Boarders

Description:	Videogame cover for Cool Boarders. Copywright owned by UEP Systems

Source:	www.rottentomatoes.com

Rationale for use on wikipedia:	1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject. 2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. 3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. 4.The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above. 5.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. 6.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. 7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title. 8.The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the vidoe game cover or game itself. 9.The image is used in the article namespace. 10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

Resolution:	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. 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.

Replaceable?:	As a video game cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the images from the game would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Compatibility with wikipedia?:	Use of the video game cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

[edit] Licensing

This image is cover art for a video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art

constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
