[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Crazy in Love (Beyoncé song)
Description	Cover art for the single "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z
Source	Discogs.com
Article	Crazy in Love (Beyoncé song)
Portion used	Front cover only; no other artwork (e.g. back cover, liner notes) used — only a small portion of the commercial product.
Low resolution?	Image is of high enough resolution to identify the single and illustrate the appearance of the artwork, but is of low enough resolution that copies of the image could not be used as artwork on illegal physical copies of the single.
Purpose of use	Image illustrates an educational article about the single from which the cover illustration was taken. It is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic; as such, it is a more appropriate image than any other available. It illustrates the appearance of the cover artwork.
Replaceable?	No (covers of audio recordings are presumed to be non-replaceable).
Other information	Image has been published and widely distributed outside Wikipedia. The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Pop music

The use of this sleeve or cover of a commercial audio recording constitutes "fair use" under United States copyright Law for the following reasons:

it illustrates an encyclopedic article on the genre of the recording, of which it is an emblematic example,
its quality has been significantly reduced, and can not therefore replace the original,
it is here affixed in the belief that the copyright holder's rights over the original will not be affected in any way,
there is no alternative uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample available of comparable import, and
it is placed in good faith, in the hope that it will amplify and elevate the recording from which it was drawn.

[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.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For an example fair use rationale, see here.
