Rationale for "fair use" in the article The Aquarium :

This image is used for the purposes of criticism and comment on the album "The Aquarium" by The Aquarium.

According to section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976:

The image is of considerably lower resolution than the original and it is used for non-profit purposes. These two factors are noted as relevant by the Act.

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 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
