[edit] Fair Use Rationale for the page 20 All-Time Greatest Hits!

The cover is used to represent a significant compilation album, 20 All-Time Greatest Hits!, by a well-known musician, James Brown
This image has been used in several websites, and so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
The image is of low resolution
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the album
The image does not limit the performer or record company's ability to sell the album
The only purpose of the image is to help describe the album 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! and no other purpose

If this rationale is not adequate, please tell me specifically what is wrong with it before moving to delete the file and I will try to improve it. Or feel free to fix it yourself. InnocuousPseudonym 10:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
