Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free DVD in 4-disk (3 x CD. 1 x DVD) box set cover true for Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India
Description

This is the front cover for the DVD in 4-disk (3 x CD. 1 x DVD) box set Ravi Shankar-George Harrison Collaborations box set, cover of disc 4 (concert DVD) by the artist Ravii Shankar. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Dark Horse, or the graphic artist(s).

scanned personally, simply because the image has never been an album cover in its own right and appears to be unavailable online

Article

Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India

Portion used

image does not fill the source cover (being of poster proportions), so the image to be used has the blank portions cropped

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. Commentary in the article about the cover art itself: no reference to the image will be made; the image serves as a tour poster (which I believe it originally was) inside a tour infobox for the 1974 music festival. 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

The image will complement an educational article about the festival from which the cover illustration has been taken; the image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic; the use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original (in particular, copies of the image could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork); and it is a low resolution image.
