[edit] Summary

The vinyl cover of The Used's single "The Bird and The Worm", B side.

[edit] Fair use in The Bird and The Worm

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
The image is of lower resolution than the original cover.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single in any way.
For an article about a single, 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.
