[edit] Summary

[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 for Wheatus (album)

The use of the image linked here (Wheatus_Wheatus.jpg) in the Wikipedia article Wheatus (album) is claimed to be under fair use as:

The image is only used for nonprofit educational purposes, for identification and/or critical commentary on the copyrighted work.
It is an image representing only the cover and not the actual content of the product in question.
The image is of a resolution far inferior to that of the original, and due to the resulting lack of detail it could not be used for media piracy (e.g. to manufacture illegal copies of the product).
Given that the image used only constitutes a small part of copyrighted work, and is of inferior quality, it is assumed that the use does not lessen the commercial value of the copyrighted work.
