Fair Use Rationale

Album cover for "Vintage NRPS" by the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

The source of this image is a scan of the CD cover.

This image is subject to copyright by Relix Records, but I, Mudwater, believe it is covered by U.S. fair use laws for inclusion in the article "Vintage NRPS" because:

1. As a picture of an album cover, this image uniquely identifies the album, and is not replaceable with free content.
2. It is being used for educational and informational purposes only.
3. It is a low resolution copy.
4. It does not interfere with the copyright owner's economic interests.
5. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights.

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 Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

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 Wikipedia: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.
