Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free magazine cover true for GamePro
Description	This is the front cover art for Iss: April 1989 of the magazine GamePro . The copyright is believed to belong to the publisher or the cover artist. First/Premiere issue of GamePro
Source	May be found at the following website: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224859806289.
Article	GamePro
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is the publication cover, 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	Section. 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 a 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 work, namely the cover creator's ability to provide design services and in turn marketing of items to the public.
Replaceable?	As a cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Other information	Use of the publication cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
