[edit] Summary

The image I have chosen to upload is the cover of the studio music album The Final Cut by a rock band called Pink Floyd. The image came from the website All Music.com, here is the link: link The copyright holder is the All Media Guide, LLC. This image I have chosen to upload will be used in the Pink Floyd page, in the discography section. The image itself will be placed on The Final Cut page in the right-hand information box that states information about the album, the image will be placed there, the whole purpose is to show anyone who uses that page what the particular album looks like, as there has been no picture of the album there in the past. The image shall be used in no other page but that one that I have stated.

[edit] Fair use for The Final Cut

Though the picture is subject to copyright I, EndlessWires 18:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution copy of a CD album cover;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way;
Scanned copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD
It is being used for informational purposes only, not for profit.

[edit] Licensing

Article	The Final Cut (album)
Portion used	Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork.
Low resolution?	Yes. 200x195px — low per Non-free content criteria according to Wikipedia:Non-free content. 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	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Illustrates the appearance of the album and identifies it by recognized features.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable?	As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. No free equivalent can equal this image — any would be a derivative of this artwork.
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.
