[edit] Summary

This image is not in the public domain, but there are several reasons which justify its placement in Thriller (album) under wikipedia's fair use policy:

1. There is no other equivalent image which would serve the same, information purpose in this article. It is unreplacable with anything else.

2. No profit is being accrued by wikipedia or detracted from Michael Jackson, Sony BMG, or anyone associated with Thriller 25, by this image being placed on this page.

3. The image is extremely relevant to the article and serves an important purpose by allowing for a visual representation of the subject matter.

For these reasons, I personally believe that this image falls under WP:WPFU.

[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.
