[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover –for Strider (arcade game)
Description	This is the cover art for Strider (arcade game) . The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist.
Source	May be found at the following website: http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/strider/strider.htm
Article	Strider (arcade game)
Portion used	The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Header. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed at the beginning of the article or section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable?	As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image as a header would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

The previous version(s) of this image are copyrighted and were used under a claim of fair use. In accordance with the Wikipedia non-free content criteria, a smaller or lower quality version, or a freely-licensed replacement, has been uploaded in their place.
