Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free video cover true for The Big Bang Theory season 2
Description	This is the DVD cover art of the second season of The Big Bang Theory. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher of the video, Warner Bros. Television or the studio which produced the video, Chuck Lorre Productions.
Source	Amazon.com
Article	The Big Bang Theory season 2
Portion used	The entire front 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 video 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	Main infobox. 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 in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and 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 video cover creator's ability to provide video cover design services and in turn marketing video to the public.
Replaceable?	As a video cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the video would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the video cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

-This copyrighted image is used in the English-language Wikipedia article "[[List of The Big Bang Theory episodes (season 2)]]." The manner of said use constitutes a "fair use" under [[United States copyright law]]. Specifically:
-#The English-language Wikipedia is a project of the [[Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.]], a non-profit charitable organization.
-#The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
-#The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the DVD in question.
-#Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article; that is, the work that is distributed via the DVD media.
-#The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or [[Template:Infobox Film|"information box"]] that is neutral in tone.
-#The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media.
-#The market for the original DVD 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 DVD's.
-#Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the DVD cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany pirated discs), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
-#Since it is copyrighted DVD [[Optical disc packaging#Keep case|keep case]] box art, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
-#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.
-#The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.
