fair use in Hooker 'N Heat[edit]

This image is a cover of the audio recording Hooker 'n' Heat by John Lee Hooker & Canned Heat. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates an educational article about the sound recording from which the cover illustration was taken.
• The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
• 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 use of the cover illustration is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.

Fair use in Boogie Chillen'[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It's a low resolution copy of a CD/album cover.
2. It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD/album in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
3. Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD.
4. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
5. The image on the cover is significant because it was made for a famous artist.
