[edit] Fair use

Although this image may be subject to copyright, its use is believed to be covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a low resolution copy of an album cover for Only Love Strangers.
2. No free or public domain images have been or are likely to be located for this album.
3. It is not believed to detract from the album in any way.
4. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
5. For an article or section of an article about an album, the cover artwork is very important and adds significantly to the article. The image is therefore also used in the section about the album in the article Faye Wong as well as the article about the album. This is among the most iconic images of Faye Wong and it is therefore important to retain it in the article about the singer as well as the article about the album.
6. The image is also used in Cantopop. This is also relevant as Faye Wong was in 2000 given the title of Best Selling Canto-Pop Female - after sales of this 1999 album - see article Faye Wong for reference.
7. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal vinyl or CD copies of the album.
8. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only.
