[edit] Fair Use in Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?

1. The image adds significantly to the article because it shows the object discussed.
2. The image is only used for informational purposes.
3. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
4. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
5. The image is already used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
6. It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the album represents.
7. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
8. The cover is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
9. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

[edit] Source

1. Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the album/CD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

[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.
