Article

Living in the Material World

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?

Medium resolution, to ensure painting is visible at reduced size

Purpose of use

Other. 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. To serve as illustration beside discussion dedicated to the album's original artwork. Commentary in the article about the cover art itself: "... while Village Voice contributor Nicholas Schaffner likewise admired the "color representations of the Hindu scriptures" (in the form of Krishna's chariot, taken from the Bhagavad Gita) ...". 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.

Other information

Wikipedia use satisfies criteria for fair use for a number of reasons: the image will complement an educational article about the album from which the illustration has been taken (and which deals with the artist's devotion to Hindu spirituality); the use of the image 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); and it is a low resolution image.

Date of publication 1972
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) The Lord Loves the One (That Loves the Lord)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image will support a section in the article dedicated to the song's release. As outlined in the article's Background and Composition sections, "The Lord Loves the One (That Loves the Lord)" was inspired by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, leader of the Hare Krishna movement and founder of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, which is still the copyright holder of this image. The most overtly religious song on the album, "The Lord Loves the One" echoes Prabhupada's teachings, and (as mentioned under Release), Harrison included the image as a "plug" for the movement; the image, which is a painting that depicts a scene from the Bhagavad Gita, originally appeared as the cover to Prabhupada's book Bhagavad Gita As It Is. The article's Release section includes critical commentary from Nicholas Schaffner's 1977 book The Beatles Forever, in which the author refers to this painting together with the song's refrain as combining to produce "a luxuriant rock devotional designed to transform [Harrison's] fans' stereo equipment into a temple". Mention is also made that the song was one of two tracks that inspired Tom Wilkes's design for the Material World album, which included the use of a detail from the same image as the side-one LP face label.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Because the image referred to in the article's text is official album artwork, it cannot be replaced by free content, existing or otherwise. The official artwork is needed to visually convey the particulars of this facet of Apple Records' promotion for the song.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This is the only non-free content image in the article. Its use is confined to this song and the parent album article, where more album-oriented commentary appears. The entire image is required, since it is official artwork and the message cannot be conveyed with just a portion of the image. The file is of medium resolution, to ensure the painting is visible on the page, although its size is a standard 320 × 320 pixels.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The interests of the copyright holder have been respected and will not be adversely affected by wikipedia's use of the image, which appears in an educational article and is the subject of discussion and critical commentary. The image complements discussion on the song's release and how Harrison's controversial composition was viewed by fans and music critics in 1973. The image has been scanned at such a size that quality copies of this 12" vinyl artwork (or reduced-size CD artwork) could not be made from this file.
