This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book 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. Other use 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 described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

[edit] Fair use for Cyberpunk

This is a reduced-resolution image of three book covers, illustrating William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, a well-known science fiction series typically included in the cyberpunk canon. No free or public-domain images illustrating these books have been found, and the presence of this image in the article covering their respective genre does not materially affect the copyright holder's ability to profit from the cover artwork.

Because Gibson's trilogy is central to the cyberpunk style, having an illustration of his work enhances the scholarly utility of the article. Furthermore, the cover images are arguably cyberpunk art in their own right; therefore, this graphic is doubly germane.

As per the edit history, the user who took the picture (User:Fortinbras) has released the derivative contribution (i.e., grouping the covers together into one image) into the public domain.
