[edit] Summary

Amru Sani sheet music booklet from Italy, 1950s.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers

to illustrate an article discussing the book 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. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might 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. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

[edit] Fair use for Sanimusic3.jpg

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

It is a historically significant photo of the subject in question.
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article to the general public.
Because the image in question is the cover of a sheet music booklet, there was reasonable expectation on the part of the original publisher that it would be seen by large numbers of the general public and even be reprinted in various media.
