Hi

I'm keeping a friendly eye on the Wikipedia article on Le Tigre.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Tigre

The following images appear in the discography in the article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Le_Tigre_album.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Feminist_Sweepstakes.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:This_Island.jpg
with the latter also appearing in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Fateman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Samson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Island

Recently Wikipedia have tightened up their policy on fair use
of 'non-free' images. Under the new scheme the This Island
image might survive as it identifies the subjects of the
various articles, and is thus loosely pertinent to critical
commentary, but the other two will likely get deleted once
their use comes under scrutiny.

Perhaps you'd like to release them under a free licence e.g.
creative commons?  You could specify that it only applies to
the low resolution versions in question.  (It's my guess that
the images are yours rather than the respective labels.) CC
means that it can be re-used commercially but only under the
same (share-alike) licence.

I've attached a form of consent that you could consider, You
can do a seperate one for each image or just pluralize. Return
it to me and I'll put it through channels.
