CD cover of Why Do Birds Sing? by The Violent Femmes

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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for the article Why Do Birds Sing?

I, Freekee, believe that the use of this non-free image in the article Why Do Birds Sing? is fair because:

1. No free or public domain images can be created for this record cover.
2. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the record in any way.
3. This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
4. The cover art is being used for educational and informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way, or deprive its copyright holders of any financial gain.
5. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal CD copies of the album.
6. It is used as the primary means of visual identification of the album.
7. It is only a small portion of the commercial product.

Note that this does not claim fair use in articles other than those listed above. If you wish to use this image in another article, please add a new fair use rationale below.
