Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free single cover true for Wanted Dead or Alive (Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg song)
Description	This is the cover art for the single Wanted Dead or Alive by the artist 2Pac and Snoop Doggy Dogg. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Death Row Interscope , or the graphic artist(s).
Source	May be found at the following website: http://www.discogs.com/2Pac-Snoop-Doggy-Dogg-Wanted-Dead-Or-Alive/master/30158
Article	Wanted Dead or Alive (Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg song)
Portion used	The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable?	As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above.

Rationale of fair use for Wanted Dead or Alive

The image Image:441830 l.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss?) feel it is covered by fair use because:

The image is a cover for the single Wanted Dead or Alive created by KidEight Designs, and intended for wide distribution.
The cover is of lower resolution and quality than the original CD (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
No free or public domain images have been located for this single.
The cover does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single in any way.
The cover is intended to represent the Wanted Dead or Alive.
The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single in any way.
The cover artwork ha been published in various media (see Amazon.com for example)
