[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use in Killer

The file is taken from the artists official website (TheRealTechN9ne.com), from a page containing the digital version of a sampler for the Strange Music record label (found here) and while it may be subject to copyright by the Strange Music label, I feel it's use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It illustrates educational articles about the album from which the cover illustration was taken.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
3. 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. In particular, copies of the image could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.
4. It is a low resolution image.
5. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
6. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
7. It was released on the website as a form of promotion, thus is expected to be circulated.

[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.
