Fair use for Public Execution[edit]

This image, mouse-publicexecution-cover.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright, I, (Shocking Blue•talk) feel it is covered by the U. S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a low resolution copy of the album cover;
2. It is used for educational and informational purposes only;
3. The image adds significantly to the article because it is the most recognizable way to identify the album being described in the article; and,
4. It is featured prominently in many websites and catalogues by individuals (or companies) seeking to sell or resell the album or to describe their record collection, or who otherwise wish to express their interest in the music contained on this album.

Summary[edit]

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.
