Summary

Cover of the Star Wreck Roleplaying Game rulebook, from the publisher's homepage, [http://rpg.starwreck.com/].

Fair use for article [[Star Wreck Roleplaying Game]]

{{Non-free use rationale

|Article = Star Wreck

|Description = This is the cover to the game

|Source = http://rpg.starwreck.com/

|Portion = Cover

|Purpose = Image is used for purposes of illustration in the above-named article, a subject of public interest.

|Resolution = Small size unsuitable to use for high quality reproduction

|Replaceability = Image is protected by copyright, therefore a free use alternative won't exist.

|other_information = Although the picture is originally copyright, it is covered by fair use because:

  1. It is a low resolution copy of a book cover, hence, only a small portion of the commercial product;
  2. The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to sell or distribute the original book;
  3. Copies of this image could not be used to make illegal copies of the book;
  4. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article. For a visual medium such as books, words alone cannot adequately describe the subject;

}}

This image, while under copyright, is considered Fair Use because no comparable image exists or can be created, and it adds significantly to the article in question (the cover art is an example of the parodic style of the work as a whole). It is also comparably low-resolution and does not hinder the copyright holders' ability to sell the original or derivatives thereof.
