[edit] Licensing

This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

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 well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed.

BMG Music Club web site

[edit] Fair use rationale

This image is used solely in the article List of BMG Music Club's top selling albums in the United States in accordance with the licensing statement. The article discusses a music club whose magazine covers are shown in the image. Casey Abell 22:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

To expand the fair use rationale for this image in line with the suggested guidelines:

The image is of very low resolution and completely unsuitable for commercial copying or any other commercial use.
The image may actually encourage a reader of the article to purchase albums from the music club.
The image provides no audio from any album sold by the music club, only an indication of the types of music available.
The image is used only to furnish a tangible idea of the music club under discussion, and does not violate any rights of the music company or the musicians whose albums it sells.
