Summary[edit]

Fair use rationale The Magic of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits[edit]

The front cover of Boney M. 1980 7" single "My Friend Jack/I See A Boat On The River", copyright Hansa Records, Ariola Eurodisc. Record cover to illustrate the article about album The Magic of Boney M. - 20 Golden Hits, the Boney M. discography, and the relevant period in the history of Boney M. Although the picture is subject to copyright I feel and assert that it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution copy of a single cover;
• it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the single in any way;
• no free alternative is available;
• its use is commensurate with usage throughout discographies and album listings across the world wide web;
• its low resolution means copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on CD or LP.
