This image, Black_market_music.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (iecs) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. the image is being used to illustrate the album in question.
2. no free or public domain alternatives are available for this album.
3. the image is of lower resolution than the original cover.
4. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way.
5. the image on the cover is significant because it was made by a notable artist, Placebo.
6. the image is being used for informational purposes only.

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.
