This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

[edit] Fair use in CRASH (magazine)

Although this image is subject to copyright, I, Oscarthecat (talk · contribs), feel that its use in CRASH (magazine) is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is being used for informational purposes only;
It is a low-resolution image that does not match the original copyrighted work in quality;
It does not infringe upon the original copyright holder's ability to profit from the media;
No free or public domain equivalents have been located or could be created without infringing on copyright; and
It contributes to the article in which it is used by providing information directly relevant to the portions of the article's text.
