[edit] Fair use rationale for use in Pretty Vacant

Though this album cover is subject to copyright, it is assumed that its use is covered by fair use laws because:

It illustrates an educational article about the album from which the cover illustration was taken.
It is used as the primary means of visual identification of the album.
It is a low resolution image.
It is only a small portion of the commercial product.
It is not replaceable with any free or uncopyrighted image.
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies of the image could not be used to make illegal copies of the album.
