Non-free / fair use media rationale for Kessler (TV series)
Description	DVD cover image of the first series of Kessler.
Source	Uploaded by Ben King
Article	Kessler (TV series)
Portion used	Entire image
Low resolution?	Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the DVD cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany pirated discs), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
Purpose of use	Used as the primary means of identifying a television series in the article about that series.
Replaceable?	Copyrighted series, no free images exist.
Other information	The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial. The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media. The market for the original DVD product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said DVDs. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.

[edit] Licensing

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers

to illustrate the videotape 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:Non-free content for more information.

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