File:Aliens Ate My Buick cover (Thomas Dolby).jpg

Straight-up, low-quality image of the cover to Thomas Dolby's Aliens Ate My Buick. Taken from AllMusic; I assume that Dolby's record label holds the copyright.

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. 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. In particular, copies of the image could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.
2. It is a low resolution image.
3. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
4. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

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.
