[edit] Summary

Cover for the single "Pass the Mic" by Beastie Boys.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Pass the Mic

This image, PassTheMic.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (kollision) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The image is being used to illustrate the single in question.
2. No free or public domain alternatives are available for this single.
3. This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
4. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover.
5. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD single in any way.
6. The image is being used for informational purposes only.

[edit] Licensing

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.
