[edit] Fair use in Leprosy, Death

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a cover of an album by a famous band, therefore intended to be viewed by many.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
It does not hinder the ability of the copyright holder to profit from its use.
