[edit] Fair use rationale for the article Robbie Basho

This image is a cover of a sound recording by Robbie Basho. Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It illustrates an educational article about the artist who recorded the work from which the cover illustration was taken.
It is a low resolution copy of the cover.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
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 sound recording.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

The use of the cover illustration is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
