Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover –for Bitches Brew
Description	This is the gatefold cover image for the double album Bitches Brew by the artist Miles Davis. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Columbia Records, or the graphic artist, Mati Klarwein.
Source	scanned from The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions box set booklet
Article	Bitches Brew
Portion used	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.
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	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 is placed at the beginning of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Commentary in the article about the cover art itself: The image and its creator, Mati Klarwein, are both dicussed in the Bitches Brew article.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.
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. Using different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Other information	Artwork as originally presented on the Bitches Brew gatefold double album cover.
