[edit] Summary

This is the cover art for Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. The image was obtained from the front cover of the booklet that came with the CD released by Warner Bros. Records.

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. 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. 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.

The album liner notes contain a mention of thanks to Tom White for "the hippo concept".
