Summary
[edit]| Description | This is the original front cover for the album The Wailing Wailers by the artist The Wailers, used when the album was first released in 1965. |
|---|---|
| Author or copyright owner |
The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Studio One, or the graphic artist(s). |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Derived from a digital capture of the album cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record label or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless. |
| Date of publication | 1965 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | The Wailing Wailers |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
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. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | 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. 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 used 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. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
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. |
| Other information | Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
