[edit] Summary

Album cover

[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 Traffic Gold

1. The image is a low-resolution copy of a CD cover (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
2. The image is being used as a primary means of identifying its subject.
3. The image is being used only for informational purposes.
4. The image is unique to a specific album, with no free alternative available.

[edit] Fair use in Gold (album)

Though the image is subject to copyright, I feel it is covered by U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low-resolution image of a CD cover (copies made from it will be of inferior quality)
2. it is being used only for informational purposes, and not profit or personal gain.
3. it is used only once in the article, and it illustrates the text to which it appears
4. it helps illustrate the similarity between the covers of the Gold series.
5. no freely available images in the public domain have been located for this item.
