[edit] Summary

Fair use album cover used to illustrate album in question.

[edit] Rationale for fair use in Diamonds in the Dark

The image Diamonds in the Dark EP.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (CloudNine 18:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
2. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal CD copies of the album.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
4. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for educational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way.

[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.
