Article

Champions of Rock

Portion used

Entire front cover only. Does not include inside portions

Low resolution?

(222 x 222 Pixels, @ 72 DPI) Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy..

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.Illustrates the appearance of the album and identifies it by recognised features..Commentary in the article about the cover art itself: Illustrates the appearance of the album and identifies it by recognised features..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. No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)

Other information Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogues and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
