Summary[edit]

Cover art for the free-to-download EP by Blacksmoke. This artwork was made freely available at the artists' website, blacksmoke.org.

Fair use in Blacksmoke[edit]

Although the picture is subject to copyright I (Kingboyk) feel and assert that it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution copy of an LP cover;
• the recording and cover were offered for free download, but not under any recognised free licence;
• it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the LP in any way, and the LP was never offered for sale;
• no free alternative is available;
• it is being used to illustrate an article on the recording in question.

Licensing[edit]

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.
