[edit] Rationale of fair use for Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)

  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.
  3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the game in any way.
  4. The image does not impede the publishers ability to sell the game.
  5. For an article about a video game, the cover artwork is very important and adds significantly to the article.
  6. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
  7. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, in an educational matter that does not harm anyone, but allows identification with the main subject.
  8. The image fulfills the criteria laid out at Template:Non-free game cover.
