[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Gex (video game)
Description	Cover image for Gex (PlayStation)
Source	Scanned from original case
Article	Gex (video game)
Portion used	Game cover only
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	Primary means of identifying a video game in the article about that game.
Replaceable?	Copyrighted game, no free image exists.
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 game 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 games. 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 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.
