[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover –for This Ain't No Picnic
Description	This is the cover art for the single Double Nickels on the Dime by the artist Minutemen. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist.
Source	The cover art can or could be obtained from the record label.
Article	This Ain't No Picnic
Portion used	The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
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.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.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

[edit] Fair use rationale for the article Double Nickels on the Dime

I, CloudNine, believe that the use of this non-free image in the article Double Nickels on the Dime is fair because:

No free or public domain images exist for this or any album cover.
This image does not replace the original market role of the album.
This should and most likely be used only on the article for the album it depicts.
This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
This image meets all general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
The image significantly illustrates the object of the article.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
The cover is being used for educational and informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way, or deprive its copyright holders of any financial gain.
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.

Note that this does not claim fair use in articles other than Double Nickels on the Dime. If you wish to use this image in another article, please add a new fair use rationale below.

[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.
