File:Boney M. - Hooray Hooray (1979 single).jpg

Summary edit

Fair use rationale edit

The front cover of Boney M. 1979 7" single "Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday", copyright Hansa Records, Ariola Eurodisc. Record cover to illustrate the article about album Oceans Of Fantasy, the Boney M. discography, and the relevant period in the history of Boney M. Although the picture is subject to copyright I (dreamer.se) feel and assert that it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution copy of a single cover;
• it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the single in any way;
• no free alternative is available;
• its use is commensurate with usage throughout discographies and album listings across the world wide web;
• its low resolution means copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on CD or LP.

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.
