[edit] Fair use in Company of Strangers

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

The image is used as the primary and only means of visual identification of the album in the article.
It is in very low resolution, and thus is not suitable for the potential production of counterfeit goods.
The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the album cover.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image.
