[edit] Fair Use Rationale for Consistency Theory

What is this image and what is its purpose? A small, low-res unadulterated image of a Consistency Theory CD album cover, for use in illustrating the Consistency Theory article. The image is of the main subject of the article and represents the primary means of visual identification of that subject. The artwork is also a subject within the article itself, as a visual representation of a shift in the group's musical output.
What proportion of the relevant copyright does this image represent?
Image represents a very small part of the copyright for this CD (consisting only of an image of the front cover and no part of the music or other graphics).
Is the image replaceable with a free image?
The image is not replaceable with a free image, as any alternative representation of this image would also be subject to the same copyright.
Any other information that may be relevant
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by US fair use laws because:

1. It is a low resolution copy of a CD album cover as outlined above;
2. The album cover is itself a subject of discussion within the article and is essential in illustrating the relevant point;
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way; and
4. Copies could not realistically be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.

[edit] Licensing

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 album 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 United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For an example fair use rationale, see here.
