[edit] Rationale of fair use for Tha Doggfather and Snoop Dogg

The image Image:Tha Doggfather.JPG is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss?) feel it is covered by fair use because:

The image is a cover for the album Tha Doggfather created by Death Row Records, and intended for wide distribution.
The cover is of lower resolution and quality than the original CD (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
The cover does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
The cover is intended to represent the Tha Doggfather album where it is relevant.
The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way.
The cover artwork has been published in various media (see Amazon.com for example)

[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

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.
