[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use in Choose a Bright Morning

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

The image of the album cover is used as the primary and only means of visual identification for the album, which is the main subject of the article.
The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image.
The fairly low resolution of the image makes it ill-suited for use in the potential production of illegal copies of the album.
The image is not used in such a way that a reader can convincingly be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the album cover.

[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.
