Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:13, 22 April 2007

Cover for the Alanis single "An Emotion Away" (1992). Image copyright is owned by MCA Records.

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 solely to illustrate the audio recording in question, on the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, 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. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/File:An_Emotion_Away_single_cover.jpg true

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Misplaced Pages:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for covers of audio recording releases. Either of the following may be helpful for stating the rationale: Template:Album rationale or Template:Non-free use rationale album cover. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Rationale of fair use for An Emotion Away

The image An Emotion Away single cover.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Extraordinary Machine 21:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
2. 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.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single in any way.
4. 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 MCA Records for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
5. 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.
