Source: Single cover, "Land of Confusion", 1986.
Rationale for fair use in article Phil Collins
[edit]- The image is of popular Genesis single. Collins, at the time of this single, was the lead singer of Genesis.
- The image is of the cover of a Top 20 single and is intended for wide distribution. The video itself and the puppets in the screenshot were readily shown for promotional purposes on MTV, VH1, and other music related television channels. The video eventually was nominated for an MTV Video of the Year award and a Grammy.
- The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original picture.
- No free or public domain images have been located to represent this subject.
- The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to reproduce the image, the video, or the single's contents in any way.
- The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only.
The image is a copyrighted image. U.S. copyright laws apply to this image. Should a free or public domain image be located, it should be used in place of this image.
Summary
[edit]Fair use rationale for Land of Confusion
- It is believed that the use of this image on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate an article on the audio recording in question falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107)
- The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce as the original will be covered by copyright for the foreseeable future
- Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used
- For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright

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. |
