Cover of the Verve reissue of The Carmen McRae-Betty Carter Duets.

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.

Fair use in The Carmen McRae-Betty Carter Duets, taken from the requisite listing at Amazon.com, which was provided to them by the requisite holder of the distribution license:

1. The image is being used for the article about album.
2. The image is the most logical representation of the album, The Carmen McRae-Betty Carter Duets.
3. It is of a lower resolution than the original, and will not affect the ability to market or profit off of the album.
4. No free images of or representative of the album can be found, and does not infringe on the rights of the holders of the copyright, who either produced the image or owns the rights to the item this image illustrates, and is the source for the original said copyrighted image.
5. The image is used on a variety of websites, thus not making it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The album image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original in any way.
