[edit] Fair use rationale for Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas

This image is a cover of the audio recording Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas by Patty Loveless. Its inclusion in the article Dreamin' My Dreams is claimed as fair use because:

The image is the primary means of visual identification of the album Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas.
It is a low resolution image.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.
It illustrates educational articles about the sound recording from which the cover illustration was taken.

The use of the cover illustration is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the educational quality of the articles without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
