[edit] Summary

Front cover of the Japanese PlayStation video game, Gradius Gaiden.

(C) Konami

Source: [1], used in context [2]

[edit] Rationale for fair use in Gradius Gaiden

1. No free or public domain images have been located for this video game.
2. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal copies of this video game.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
4. This is the artwork, intended by Konami for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
5. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
6. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original video game in any way.
