This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)

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.

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.

Section. 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. The image supports discussion of George Harrison's last single release on the Beatles' Apple record label, and the final release on Apple Records in its original incarnation. This Japanese picture sleeve features a photo of Harrison on stage during his 1974 North American tour – a tour that serves as a critical point in the discussion throughout the article, since the song "This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)" was Harrison's rebuttal to critics of these shows and the accompanying studio album. The image is used as an example of international promotion for the 1975 single in a dedicated Release section, with text given over to the picture sleeve's design and how it contrasted with the marketing concept adopted for the song's parent album, Extra Texture, through the incorporation of part of Grammy-winning designer Roy Kohara's album artwork. The inclusion of the image adds to the reader's understanding of the subject, since the picture sleeve represents both the event that inspired the song and an example of the international marketing concept used for the singles culled from Extra Texture. 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.

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. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
