[edit] Fair use in American Nervoso

The image is of a lower quality than the original (I scanned it using a scanner which would have degraded its quality). All subsequent copies will be of lower quality than the original.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the image in any way.
The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original image in any way.

According to Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976:

"The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment,...scholarship...is not an infringement of copyright." [1]

The image is used for non-profit purposes. This factor is noted as relevant by the Act.

[edit] Licensing

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:Non-free content for more information.
