Licensing[edit]

This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Non-free Fair Use Rationale for "Apache (instrumental)"[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because it is used as follows:

• Article="Apache (instrumental)"
• Use=Infobox
• Description=7" single sleeve artwork for the 25 August 1960 - Number One UK Singles Chart song Apache by The Shadows.
• Source=http://rateyourmusic.com/misc/link_image?album_id=339571&image_hotlinked (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by Columbia Records.
• Portion=Entire front cover, but does not include back or insides of original artwork
• Resolution=Low resolution. Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
• Purpose=Illustrates the appearance of the historical no. 1 single in the article about the single and identifies it by recognized features.
• Replaceability=No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork and subject to copyright).
• other information= Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the album as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves. This single cover image is over 40 years old and the group are no longer together so no further free images could be found in any case.
