  • Use of the image doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD in any way, but in fact may encourage sales.
  • Because of its low resolution copies of it could not be used to make any illegal copies of the image.
  • The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article.
  • Its sole use is to identify the CD in question within the article.
