Cover of Cyberpunk 2020, copyright R. Talsorian Games.

This image is of a board game cover, and the copyright for it is most likely held 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, where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cyberpunk2020.jpg true

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for board game covers. Do not use it for other purposes. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

This image is the box art for R. Talsorian Games's Cyberpunk 2020 game. No free or public domain images from this game have been found, and the use of this image (which is available without cost anyway, e.g., on a store shelf) does not materially impact the copyright holder's ability to profit from the game. Nor does this image "spoil" the storyline or gameplay in any significant fashion.

Beyond illustrating the Cyberpunk 2020 game, this box art is an instance of cyberpunk visual media in its own right: witness the futuristic cowboy hero, the femme fatale beside the car, the high-tech but dystopian cityscape complete with Asian signage. For these reasons, this image complements the text of the cyberpunk article and enhances its utility.
