Portion used

A reasonable portion of the original artwork is used in order to avoid misrepresentation of the intended image.

Low resolution?

This media is of a size and resolution sufficient for accurate identification or representation without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The image is used to identify Smart Parts Impulse paintball marker, a notable product or service. This media is used to help the reader identify the product, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about that product, and illustrate branding associations of the product or service in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Because it is packaging artwork there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Smart Parts//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SP_Impulse_box.jpgtrue

The image is the packaging from a Smart Parts Impulse paintball marker, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by Smart Parts. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of product packaging constitutes fair use:

  • Purpose and character of the use is for educational purposes, not to sell Impulse markers
  • The photo is copyrighted
  • Only the front of the box is depicted; it is at a low resolution
  • Effect on the market for the image is low; it is unlikely that the use of this photo in the article will prevent people from purchasing Impulse markers. Indeed, the marker is no longer in production, so that danger is minimalized even further. If anything, providing photos of the marker will more likely than not promote further sales of the marker.
