The box art of the 2005 video game NASCAR SimRacing. Image created by EA Sports.

Fair use in NASCAR SimRacing[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. EA Sports has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
2. The image is needed to illustrate a box art of a video game.

Licensing[edit]

This image is cover art for a video game, and its copyright is most likely held by the game's publisher or developer.

Other uses of this image may be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NASCAR_SimRacing_cover.jpg true
