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

to illustrate the packaging of the game in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

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.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Tetris
Description	Box art for Tetris for Nintendo Entertainment System
Source	box scan via Blockstats
Article	Tetris
Portion used	entire cover
Low resolution?	Not nearly high enough to print a convincing counterfeit box cover
Purpose of use	for the infobox to identify authentic Tetris games in the context of critical commentary about the franchise
Replaceable?	No. The Tetris Company has never authorized a Tetris product to be published as free software. Replacing this with a screenshot of a free tetromino game would be like putting an OpenOffice.org Writer screenshot at the top of the article Microsoft Word. Upload all the screenshots of free tetromino games you want, but keep them in List of Tetris variants, not in Tetris.
