Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm cover art.

Derived from a digital capture of the single cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm

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.

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.

1. The image is used for identification of the video game in the context of critical commentary.
2. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.
3. The use is purely for non-profit reasons, and to inform users on the video game in question.
4. It is a low resolution and/or poor quality version of the game's cover, making it unusable for reproduction.
5. Its use does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market and sell the video game in any way.
6. The image is freely available online; its appearance on Wikipedia does not make it more freely available.

As video game cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the video game would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

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.
