Fair use rationale for article Give'n It edit

I believe that use of this image in the Wikipedia article Give'n It qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law for the following reasons:

• The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce
• Only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used
• The image is used solely to illustrate the audio recording in question
• The use of this image does not compete with the copyright holders' usage
• The image is of inferior quality compared to that of an original, having been reduced to a web-resolution
