[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Myst IV: Revelation
Description	Myst IV: Revelation Game Cover
Source	http://www.amazon.co.uk
Article	Myst IV: Revelation
Portion used	The entire box art is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	The box art is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company, without being unnecessarily high resolution. 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	The image is used to identify the video game Myst IV, a subject of public interest. The significance of the box art is to help the reader identify the game, assure the reader they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the game, and illustrate the nature of the game in a way that words alone could not convey.
Replaceable?	Because it is artwork there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of 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.
