Summary[edit]

Cover of the CD "Afro Puffs" by Lady of Rage. Copyright Death Row Records.

Rationale of fair use for Afro Puffs[edit]

The image Image:Afropuffs.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss?) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is a scan of a compact dick for the single "Afro Puffs" created by Death Row Records, and intended for wide distribution.
2. The cover is of lower resolution and quality than the original CD (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
4. The cover does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or in any way.
5. The cover is intended to represent the "Afro Puffs" single.
6. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single in any way.
7. The material has previously been published in numerous sources, with higher resolution images available elsewhere (Amazon.com, for example).

Licensing[edit]

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.
