The Byrds

Portion used

Detail of the front album cover: The image has been cropped to show only the band's wordmark.

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

To illustrate The Byrds' distinctive psychedelic logo, which has been utilized on a number of the band's releases over the years. The article mentions the logo and its significance as a commonly used wordmark for the band. The image and ones similar to it are used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original in any way.

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 United States copyright law as described above.
