[edit] Fair use rationale for Tenacious D - The Complete Masterworks

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

It is a low resolution copy of a video album cover.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way.
For an article about an album, the cover artwork is very important and adds significantly to the article
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, Tenacious D.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

[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.

[edit] Source

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). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
