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.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Eskimo (album)
Description	Front cover of Eskimo by The Residents.
Source	From the article on "Eskimo" at All Music Guide
Article	Eskimo (album)
Portion used	Entire front cover.
Low resolution?	Yes, 200 x 196 pixels
Purpose of use	To illustrate the article in which it appears, which is about a famous audio recording by The Residents. Reproductions of album covers are believed to be acceptable fair use media on Wikipedia.
Replaceable?	Impossible. The image is unique to the audio recording in question.
Other information	Album covers are widely used to illustrate articles on their respective recordings in both print and virtual media. The existence of this cover reproduction does not subtract from the marketability of the original work in any way. The resolution of the picture is small enough to prevent the use of the image on illicit copies of the work, i.e. illegal CD-R copies of the album. It is believed that the copyright owner, The Cryptic Corporation, is not against the use of this image on Wikipedia. If in the likelihood that they are indeed against this image's presence on Wikipedia, it should be removed immediately.
