Summary

[edit]

The use of this cover is covered by fair use because:

  1. No free or public domain images have been located for this Album.
  2. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal CD copies of the single.
  3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the Album in any way.
  4. For an article about an Album, the cover artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
  5. This image is used on various websites, such as amazon and discogs, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single in any way.
  6. The image on the cover is significant because it was made by a famous artist.
