Photo of cover |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as counterfeit artwork, pirate versions or for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work, product or service for which it serves as cover art. |
| Replaceable? |
As cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or cover would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
