Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) 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.

Fair use for Good Times (Elvis Presley album)[edit]

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (SkierRMH) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. it is a low resolution copy of a CD album cover;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD;
  4. the image on the cover is significant because it was made by a famous artist, Elvis Presley.

Source[edit]

Derived from a scan 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 company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
