This is the front cover art for the magazine Rolling Stone. The magazine cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher, Jann Wenner.

The Steve Jobs Nobody Knew

The entire front cover. Because the image is a magazine cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original magazine cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user’s understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the magazine cover creator’s ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.

As a magazine cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the magazine would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Use of the magazine cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. Also, Steve Jobs is deceased as of October 5, 2011.
