  4. The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
  5. The image is the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
  6. The image is a low resolution image of the book cover, in an inferior graphics format (JPEG).
  7. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
  8. The use of this image will not affect the value of the original work.
