[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Smooth Love
Description	Cover art for the album Smooth Love by Luther Vandross. Copyright held by Sony Records.
Source	CD Universe
Article	Smooth Love
Portion used	Front cover only; no other artwork (e.g. back cover, liner notes) used — only a small portion of the commercial product.
Low resolution?	Image is of high enough resolution to identify the album and illustrate the appearance of the artwork, but is of low enough resolution that copies of the image could not be used as artwork on illegal physical copies of the album.
Purpose of use	Image illustrates an educational article about the album from which the cover illustration was taken. It is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic; as such, it is a more appropriate image than any other available. It illustrates the appearance of the cover artwork.
Replaceable?	No (covers of audio recordings are presumed to be non-replaceable).
Other information	Image has been published and widely distributed outside Wikipedia. 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.

[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.
