| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| 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 |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public. |
| 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 the copyright law of the United States as described above. |

Easy to Read Summary edit
This is an image. This image is called an "album cover", meaning that it is an image that appeared on the cover of an album. This particular "album cover" image was found on a shopping website known as https://www.amazon.com. An album is a group of musical songs released by a musical artist. Songs are basically just beats and lyrics thrown together. With me so far? This "album cover" qualifies as "fair use" under Wikipedia guidelines. Wikipedia is this really big web site with a ton of pages. Let me know if you get lost. Since the "album cover" qualifies as "fair use", it may be used on "album pages". In other words, these "album pages" are permitted to contain "album covers". This means that there is nothing wrong with this image being featured on an "album page". Lots of "bots", which is short for "robot", which is basically something you might see in a sci-fi movie, will place lots of "tags" on this page. No matter how many tags the bot places on the page, nothing will change the fact that this "album cover" qualifies as "fair use" and may be used on its respective "album page".
