Portion used |
The entire cover: 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. |
Low resolution? |
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. |
Purpose of use |
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. 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. |
Replaceable? |
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. |
Other information |
Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above. |

Purpose of use |
For use in article section "First national TV appearances and debut album". The image is used for explication of critical commentary on the cover image and its significance, as well as for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art, commentary to which the art explicitly relates as well. The image is iconic, one of the best known in popular music (Source: Guffey, Elizabeth E. (2006). Retro: The Culture of Revival, p. 127. Reaktion. ISBN 186189290X). In the immediate context, the ability to view the image specifically explicates elements of the article, including how the cover photograph promoted the guitar as the defining instrument of the then-emerging genre of rock and roll, and the identification of the new genre with an exuberant emotional state (Source: Rodman, Gilbert B. (1996). Elvis After Elvis, The Posthumous Career of a Living Legend, p. 28. Routledge. ISBN 0415110025). In addition, the first point relates to adjacent critical commentary on how Presley rearranged piano-oriented R&B songs to place the sound of the guitar at the center, thereby defining the quintessential sound of rock and roll (Source: Hilburn, Robert (2005-02-06), "From the Man Who Would Be King", Los Angeles Times). In the general context of the article, it also establishes the substantial transformation of Presley's image over the course of his professional career; the cultural impact of his visual style and its transformations throughout his career is an important element of his significance (Source: Marcus, Greil (1982). Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music (rev. ed.), pp. 141–42. E.P. Dutton. ISBN 052547708X). As described in the accompanying text, the album is itself of exceptional significance. The use of the image in this location and context makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. |
