[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Group Sounds (album)
Description	Cover of the European version of the Rocket From the Crypt CD Group Sounds.
Source	Copied from {{{http://www.amazon.co.uk/Group-Sounds-Rocket-Crypt/dp/B00005LEVC}}}
Article	Group Sounds (album)
Portion used	Front cover only. Use of this portion does not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	The image is used to illustrate the different artwork used on the "European version" of the album Group Sounds by Rocket From The Crypt. This particular release differs in both packaging and content to the standard version available in the USA and is described in the "Track listing" section of the article. The use of the image in this article is the subject of public interest as this is the only version available in retail outlets in Europe
Replaceable?	The image is protected by copyright so is therefore not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational or illustrative value

[edit] Fair use rationale for the article Group Sounds (album)

The inclusion of the image RFTCGroupSoundsEuro.jpg in the article Group Sounds (album) is claimed as fair use 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;
Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD;
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value;
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product it illustrates;
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;
The use of the cover illustration is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the articles without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.

[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.

[edit] Fair use for Group Sounds

This image, RFTCGroupSoundsEuro.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (IllaZilla (talk) 20:33, 26 November 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;
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD
