Summary
| Description |
This is the the front cover for the CD single "Through the Rain" by the artist Mariah Carey. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Island, or the graphic artist(s). |
|---|---|
| Source | |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
300 pixels. The image has a resolution lower than the original resolution to avoid duplication. |
| Purpose of use |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. No free alternative is available to replace this non-free image. |
| Other information |
Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless. |

Rationale of fair use for "Through the Rain"
The image Image:Mariah Carey - Through the Rain.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, it is covered by fair use because:
- No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
- The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal vinyl or CD copies of the single.
- The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single in any way.
- For an article about a single, the cover artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork, intended by Island/Def Jam Records for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
- This image is used on various websites, so its use on Misplaced Pages does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single in any way.
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 work 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
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Misplaced Pages or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Misplaced Pages:Non-free content for more information. |
