Fair use for Tupac: Resurrection (soundtrack)[edit]

This image, Resurrectioncoverfront.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (SqlPac) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it in no way infringes or assists in the illegal reproduction or distribution of the content of said CD/album;
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD/album in any way;
3. the image is of small size and inferior quality/resolution, so that attempts to make illegal print copies of the album artwork would be useless;
4. the image is being used strictly for informational and/or educational purposes;
5. it furthers the goals of providing verifiable information concerning the subject matter, in that it visibly demonstrates content which is referenced explicitly or implicitly within the text of the article itself.
