[edit] Rationale of fair use for The Wash soundtrack

The image Image:The Wash (Front).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 The Wash created by Doggystyle Records/Aftermath 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 The Wash album.
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 ha 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

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.
