It's a low resolution copy of a vinyl record cover.
It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork/image.
The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
The image is significant because it was used to promoted a notable Canadian album.

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
