Cover of the SPV 2000 CD reissue of Popol Vuh's Aguirre

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 work 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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AguirreCD.jpg true

This image is being linked here; although the picture is subject to copyright I (Hal Raglan) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for the articles Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Aguirre because:

• According to the Wikipedia:Fair use tag for music album covers, "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of album or single covers, solely to illustrate the album or single in question, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." The image has been added to the articles to assist in critical commentary/discussion of the Aguirre film and music soundtrack.
• It illustrates articles about the film and album soundtrack from which the cover illustration was taken.
• The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the soundtrack album.
• It is a low resolution image.
• The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
• It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
• The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.
• The same illustration is used on many other websites.-Hal Raglan 04:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
