Summary edit

Video tape cover for "Backstage Pass" by the Grateful Dead.

This image is subject to copyright by Grateful Dead Productions, Inc., but I, Mudwater, believe it is covered by U.S. fair use laws for inclusion in the article "Grateful Dead: Backstage Pass" because:

1. As a picture of a video tape cover, this image uniquely identifies the video, and is not replaceable with free content.
2. It is a low resolution image.
3. It is being used for informational purposes only.
4. It does not interfere with the copyright owner's economic interests.
5. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights.

Licensing edit

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers to illustrate the videotape or disc 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.
