Cover of The Beatles album Let It Be. Clockwise: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr.

This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the album or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers

solely to illustrate the audio recording in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Fair use rationale

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

It is a low-resolution copy of an album cover,
Its use here does not limit the copyright owner's ability to market the album in any way,
It is being used for informational purposes only, not for profit,

Specifically,

In Paul McCartney, it is the only album cover used to illustrate the recordings of Paul McCartney, and is an appropriate choice, as the title song, Let It Be, is one of the most well-known singles written by Paul McCartney.
In 1970, it illustrates an important historical event of 1970, the release of the last Beatles LP.
In Let It Be (album), its inclusion is the only possible way to illustrate the subject of the article.
In The Beatles Discography, each Beatles album cover is included as part of the survey of The Beatles' musical publications.
In The Long and Winding Road, Dig a Pony, One After 909, Dig It, I've Got a Feeling, I Me Mine, For You Blue, and Two of Us, it illustrates the album on which the song in question was released for the first time.
In Across the Universe, it illustrates the album on which the song in question was released for the second time.
In Get Back, it illustrates the album on which the song in question was released for the second time.
In The Beatles Box Set and The Beatles Collection, it illustrates one of the albums included in the set.
In Maggie May (traditional song), it illustrates the album on which "Maggie Mae" was released by The Beatles, a song clearly based on Maggie May.
In "Paul is Dead" clues from Let It Be, the album cover is analyzed in the light of the Paul is Dead urban legend.
