[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale for 39/Smooth
Description	39/Smooth album by Green Day
Source	scan of album cover
Article	39/Smooth
Portion used	album cover
Low resolution?
Purpose of use	for fair use in the article about the album or the band This image is a low-resolution image of an album cover. This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the album or the artist in connection with its organization. This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone. Use of the album cover visually identifies the album and the artist and its products in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; album covers are always presumed non-free.
