[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.

[edit] Fair use in article The Day the Country Died

Although this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the United States fair use laws because:

It's a low resolution copy of the original album's cover.
Use of the image doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the album in any way, but in fact may encourage sales.
Because of its low resolution copies of it could not be used to make any illegal copies of the image.
Its sole use is to identify the album in question within the article.
The image is significant because it was, and is, used to promoted the album.

[edit] Image Source

The image was derived from digital capture (photo/scan) of the album's cover art. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party. Copyright is held by the record label, Spiderleg Records. Claimed as fair use regardless.
