File:Flatt and Scruggs-Foggy Mountain Gold (record album).jpg

This is the front cover art for a record album by Flatt and Scruggs, entitled Foggy Mountain Gold. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist(s). Source: The cover art can be obtained from the record label. The image was obtained from an Ebay auction site and was made by an anonymous private seller selling a single copy of the vintage album. The entire cover is used. 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. 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: Inbox in Wikipedia article "Earl Scruggs" 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. Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.Eagledj (talk) 03:59, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
