Summary
[edit]
| Description |
This is the cover art for the album Tenebrae. 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. |
| Article | |
| 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. |

Licensing
[edit]
 | 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
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. |
This image, TenebraeCD.jpg, is being linked here; although the picture is subject to copyright I (Hal Raglan) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- According to the Wikipedia:Fair use tag for music album covers, "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of album or single covers, solely to illustrate the album or single in question,, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." While I have already used the fair use copyright tag associated with music album covers, a recent peer review of the Tenebrae article suggested that further explanation might be necessary for all images used in articles. The image has been added to the article to assist in critical commentary/discussion of the Tenebrae film and music soundtrack.
- It illustrates articles about the film and album soundtrack from which the cover illustration was taken.
- The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the soundtrack album.
- It is a low resolution image.
- The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
- It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
- The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.
- The same illustration is used on many other websites.-Hal Raglan 23:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
