Fair use rationale for use of the image in The Desert Song

The use of the image in the article about the operetta The Desert Song qualifies under the fair use doctrine because:

• It is a low resolution copy;
• Its use in the article will not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the image;
• It is a primary visual identification for the operetta in the article and adds significantly to the reader's understanding of the article – the image is the album cover of the first LP recording of the operetta; and
• No free substitute exists for this historic image.

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.
