Cover of Cyberpunk 2020, copyright R.Talsorian Games.

This image is of a board game cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the publisher of the board game. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of board game covers

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

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Fair use for Cyberpunk

This image is the box art for R. Talsorian Games's Cyberpunk 2020 game. No free or public domain images from this game have been found, and the use of this image (which is available without cost anyway, e.g., on a store shelf) does not materially impact the copyright holder's ability to profit from the game. Nor does this image "spoil" the storyline or gameplay in any significant fashion.

Beyond illustrating the Cyberpunk 2020 game, this box art is an instance of cyberpunk visual media in its own right: witness the futuristic cowboy hero, the femme fatale beside the car, the high-tech but dystopian cityscape complete with Asian signage. For these reasons, this image complements the text of the cyberpunk article and enhances its utility.
