Rationale for use in To Understand: The Early Recordings of Matthew Sweet article edit

This CD cover image is being used here. Although the image is copyrighted, I Moisejp (talk) 16:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC), feel that it is covered by fair use, because:

1. the cover image is low resolution; consequently, it could not be used for artwork of illegal copies of the album;
2. no free or public domain images have been located for this album;
3. this image is being used for informational purposes only;
4. this CD cover image is available on other websites, and its use here does not make it significantly more visible or accessible than it already is.
