Summary
[edit]
| Description |
This is the Front Cover for the Album A Tear and a Smile by the artist Tír na nÓg. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Chrysalis records, or the graphic artist(s), Visualeyes. |
|---|---|
| Source |
Derived from a scan of the album cover like the cover of the previous Tír na nÓg album (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. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
Is only as much resolution is necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy. |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Illustrates the appearance of the album and identifies it by recognized features.. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. No other image can illustrate the appearance of the album. Any other images would feature the same exact artwork. |
| Other information |
Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves |
