[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use rationale for Albatross

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Albatross (album)
Description	Cover of the album Albatross, by The Classic Crime.
Source	Either derived from promotional material released by the record company or artist, or 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 (Tooth & Nail Records) or the artist (The Classic Crime).
Article	Albatross (album)
Portion used	Entire front cover is used.
Low resolution?	Yes.
Purpose of use	The primary means of visual identification for the subject of the Albatross article.
Replaceable?	Copyrighted album cover, so no free alternative can exist.
Other information	It is believed that the use of a low resolution single cover does not limit the marketability of the single itself, nor any sales of poster versions of the cover. The resolution is low enough that a printout is unlikely to be used for aiding piracy.

[edit] Licensing
