[edit] Rationale of fair use for The State of Things (2007 album)

No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
The image is of lower resolution than the original cover.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
For an article about an album, the cover artwork is very important and adds significantly to the article.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
The cover is being used for informational purposes only.

[edit] Source

Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the album/CD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

[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.
