Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover –for American Man: Greatest Hits Volume II
Description	This is the front cover for the CD version of American Man: Greatest Hits Volume II by the artist Trace Adkins. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Capitol, or the graphic artist.
Source	http://www.amazon.com/American-Man-Greatest-Hits-Vol/dp/B000XCZCU8/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1196499836&sr=8-2
Article	American Man: Greatest Hits Volume II
Portion used	because the image is cover art, the entire album cover must be used to identify the album, properly convey the intended meaning, and avoid misrepresentation of image
Low resolution?	Reduced in quality from the original; is sufficient solely for commentary and identification. Any copy of this image will be of lower quality than the original, and not suitable for illegal copies of the album.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. 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.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable?	As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
