Licensing edit

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book 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, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Fair use rationale edit

The following rationale applies only to the use of this image in the article The Oxford Companion to Music. Although the picture is subject to copyright, I (Bluewave) believe it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. a free alternative is not available;
2. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
3. it is only used in an article describing the book;
4. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way;
5. its low resolution means that copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork;
6. its use is commensurate with usage in biographies and book listings across the World Wide Web.
