[edit] Fair use rationale for the article Before the Dawn (album)

I, W guice, believe that the use of this non-free image in the article Before the Dawn (album) is fair because:

  1. No free or public domain images exist for this or any album cover.
  2. This image does not replace the original market role of the album.
  3. This should and most likely be used only on the article for the album it depicts.
  4. This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
  5. This image meets all general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
  6. The image significantly illustrates the object of the article.
  7. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
  8. The cover is being used for educational and informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way, or deprive its copyright holders of any financial gain.
  9. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal CD copies of the album.

Note that this does not claim fair use in articles other than Before the Dawn (album). If you wish to use this image in another article, please add a new fair use rationale below.

Though this copyrighted image's use is permissible according to U.S. fair use laws for the following reasons:

  1. This is a low resolution version of the album/single cover.
  2. The inclusion of this image does not damage the image's owner's right to sell the album/single.
  3. This cannot feasibly be used to create illegal copies of the album/single.
  4. The image relates directly to a mention of the recording in the article.
  5. This image was made famous by Patrice Rushen and is therefore significant to this article.
