[edit] Summary
This image depicts seven international editions of the board game Monopoly. Clockwise from top right is a 1960s standard edition board from (West) Germany, a 2004 standard edition board for Austria, a 1980s standard edition board for Barcelona, Spain, a 1980s standard edition board for Milan, Italy, a 2004 standard edition board for Switzerland, a 1960s standard edition board for the United Kingdom, and a 1980s Canadian edition board from Canada.
The photograph was taken on 16 August 2006 by John D. Buell, using sets from his personal collection. The artwork on all seven of the game boxes uses trademarks belonging to Parker Brothers/Hasbro and/or their licensees and the copyrights are held by those respective firms.
[edit] Fair use rationale
The photograph, set at a low resolution, and uploaded in an inferior graphics format (JPEG) depicts actual sets of the board game Monopoly, made for consumer markets outside the United States. Thus it illustrates the international reach of the board game since Parker Brothers acquired it in 1935. While this artwork is copyrighted, it is not believed that its use in the article History of the board game Monopoly will infringe on the copyright holders, Parker Brothers/Hasbro (or their licensees), as such use is for educational and informational purposes only.
[edit] Licensing
This image is of a board game cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the publisher of the board game. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of board game covers
- to illustrate the board game in question,
- on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
