Description	Cover image for Emperor: Battle for Dune video game (Microsoft Windows).
Source	Uploaded by EatMyShortz, from Amazon.com. Digital capture/scan of video game cover; copyright maintained by publisher or artist, as applicable.
Portion used	Game cover only
Low resolution?	Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the video game cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany pirated discs), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
Other information	The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial. The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media. The market for the original game product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said games. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.

Non-free image rationale for Emperor: Battle for Dune
Article	Emperor: Battle for Dune
Purpose of use	Primary means of identifying a video game in the article about that game.
Replaceable?	Copyrighted film and image; by nature, no free version exists.
