[edit] Rationale

Box shot, fair use image.

[edit] Summary

The Half-Life 2 "Orange Box" showing off Portal, Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2.

[edit] Licensing

This image is cover art for a video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art

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

constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses 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 well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Usage:

This template accepts the platform(s) as parameter to better categorize the tagged image.

{{Non-free game cover|Macintosh|Linux|Windows}}

{{Non-free game cover|Macintosh}}

or just

{{Non-free game cover}}

if the platform is unknown.

[edit] Fair use in Half-Life 2

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

Valve Software has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
The image is needed to illustrate the box art of a video game.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the video game in any way.
