The image I have chosen to upload is the cover of the 3rd studio music album Nuthin' Fancy by a southern rock band called Lynyrd Skynyrd. The image came from the website All Music.com, here is the link: link The copyright holder is either the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, or their recording studio MCA. This image I have chosen to upload will be used in the Lynyrd Skynyrd page, in the discography section. The image itself will be placed on the Nuthin' Fancy page in the right-hand information box that states information about the album, the image will be placed there, the whole purpose is to show anyone who uses that page what the particular album looks like, as there has been no picture of the album there in the past.

• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way;
• Scanned copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD
• It is being used for informational purposes only, not for profit.
