The cover of the 2008 single Mercenary Man, by Firewind

This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the album or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers

solely to illustrate the audio recording in question,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For an example fair use rationale, see here.

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

No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
It's at the resolution that Century Media and Firewind's official myspace page released it to the web at; so its inclusion here doesn't make significantly more available or visible than it already is.
It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD/single in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
The image on the cover is significant because it was made by the famous artist, Firewind.

Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the album/CD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party) or an original pre-print file released by the copyright holder or designer. Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
