Cover of Shadowrun Third Edition. Copyright WizKids, used under Fair Use.

This image is of a board game cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the publisher of the board game. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of board game covers

to illustrate the board game 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:Fair use 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.

[edit] Fair use for Cyberpunk

This image is the box art for the Shadowrun game's third edition. No free or public domain images from this game have been found, and the use of this image (which is available without cost anyway, e.g., on a store shelf) does not materially impact the copyright holder's ability to profit from the game. Nor does this image "spoil" the gameplay in any significant fashion.

Beyond illustrating the Shadowrun game, this box art is an instance of cyberpunk visual media in its own right: the portable computer "jacked in" to the all-encompassing technological ediface is a classic trope. Furthermore, the apparel of the characters hints at Shadowrun's inclusion of high fantasy themes, a point which the article addresses. For these reasons, this image complements the text of the cyberpunk article and enhances the article's utility.
