Cover of Saviour-Story of God's Passion for His People

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.

[edit] Summary

This is a widely distributed image available on the Internet for the purpose of representing the album cover.

I feel this image is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
  # it is a copy of a CD album cover;
  # it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way;
  # copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD;
  # the image on the cover is significant because it was made by a famous artist, Steve Green, Wintley Phipps, etc.

[edit] Fair use rationale for album

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Steve Green
Description	Cover for the album Saviour-Story of God's Passion for His People.
Source	Derived from a the album cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Steve Green
Portion used	Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork. The use here of the front cover image does not preclude the copyright holder from profiting on or marketing the album.
Low resolution?	Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use	Illustrates the appearance of the album and identifies it by recognized features. For informational purposes - to illustrate the article, which describes the album.
Replaceable?	No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
