[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Circus (album)
Description

Circus (album) cover by Lenny Kravitz
Source

Derived from a 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 record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article

Circus (album)
Portion used

Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork
Low resolution?

Low resolution (300 × 300 pixels). Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use

For fair use in the article about the album or the band

  1. This image is a low-resolution image of an album cover.
  2. This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the album or the artist in connection with its organization.
  3. This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
  4. Use of the album cover visually identifies the album and the artist and its products in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?

Not replaceable; album covers are always presumed non-free.
Other information Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.

[edit] Licensing

Copyrighted 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

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.
