Purpose of use	Crush 40. 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.Used to illustrate the cover of the "Crush 40" album and a correlation of the theme of racing in much of the music..Commentary in the article about the cover art itself: "Crush 40" album cover. Notice the race car pictured on it, showing the band's interest in music for racing..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.
