scanned copy of my own CD which I purchased. The cover art can or could be obtained from the record label. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
Front album cover only. Because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire (front) image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
To show the artwork, and provide a picture for the album article |
| 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 |
Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
