White Christmas album cover, 1995 CD release, deemed fair use

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.

[edit] Fair use rationale

The front cover of Bing Crosby album "White Christmas", copyright MCA Records. Record cover to illustrate the article about album White Christmas, the Bing Crosby discography, and the relevant period in the history of Bing Crosby. Although the picture is subject to copyright I (dreamer.se) feel and assert that it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution copy of a single cover;
• it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the album in any way;
• no free alternative is available;
• its use is commensurate with usage throughout discographies and album listings across the world wide web;
• its low resolution means copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on CD or LP.
