Non-free / fair use media rationale for Cruelty and the Beast
Description	Album Cover
Source	Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the album cover (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 publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Cruelty and the Beast
Portion used	CD cover only, a small portion of the commercial product.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	Article Cruelty and the Beast. The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the album). It illustrates educational articles about the album from which the cover illustration was taken.
Replaceable?	There is no free equivalent of this book cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
Other information	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. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies.
