Rationale of fair use for Window Shopper[edit]

The image Image:Window Shopper .jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss? 17:18, 2 June 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is a cover for the single "Window Shopper" created by Aftermath Records/Shady 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 "Window Shopper" 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.

Licensing[edit]

This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
