Summary[edit]
| Description |
This is the cover art for the album Welcome to the Masquerade by the artist Thousand Foot Krutch. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist(s). |

| Source | |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used |
| Low resolution? |
For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright |
| 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. The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce as the original will be covered by copyright for the foreseeable future |
| Other information |
It is believed that the use of this image on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate an article on the audio recording in question falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107) |

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. |

Yes |
| Purpose of use |
The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the album). It illustrates educational articles about the album from which the cover illustration was taken. |
| Replaceable? |
There is no free equivalent of this album cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image. |
| Other information |
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. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album. |
