[edit] Summary

Cover shot of the final issue of now defunct gaming magazine GMR, Copyright Ziff Davis Media, 2005

Source: Taken from the Evil Avatar Forums: [1]

[edit] Rationale

I (Grandpafootsoldier) have uploaded this image, GMR.jpg, here. Though the picture is subject to copyright, I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for this page alone because:

No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject.
The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the magazine itself.
The image is used in the article namespace.
The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

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: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.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed.
