Album cover for The Best of Lobo.

Album is copyright 1993 by Rhino Records.

Lobo (musician)

Because the image is an album cover, 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. 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.

For fair use on Lobo (musician):

• The image is placed in a section of the article about the artist's albums, to show a primary visual image associated with his work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.
• It is used for identification and critical commentary of the work for which it was created.
• It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.
• Use of the image does not in any way harm the ability of the record label to sell the album.
• 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 films to the public.

As an album cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the images from the movie poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
