[edit] Summary

Brian May album cover sleeve art. Taken from http://www.queenpicturehall.com/

[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.

[edit] Fair use for Red Special (album)

Though this image is subject to copyright, I, User:Sue Wallace, believe its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for the article mentioned above because it is:

Used in infobox for the album
A low resolution album cover image
Is only as much resolution as necessary.
Image is derived from a scan by http://www.queenpicturehall.com/ (the creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Entire front cover is used.
The image illustrates and confirms the visual appearance of the album in an article whose subject and title is the same.
No copyright free image has been found and any derivative would still be subject to copyright.
This image and others like it are already widely distributed to identify the album as part of music reviews and biographical catalogs and reviews, so I believe I degrade no market value by providing it here.
