Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free album cover true for Good to Be Bad
Description	This is the cover art for the album Good to Be Bad by the artist Whitesnake. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, SPV GmbH/Steamhammer (USA/Europe) / Warner/WEA (Japan), or the graphic artist(s), Hugh Gilmour.
Source	The album can be obtained from the record label.
Article	Good to Be Bad
Portion used	The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
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.

This image is the album cover of Good to Be Bad by Whitesnake. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

It illustrates educational articles about the album from which the cover illustration was taken.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
It is a low resolution image.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
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.
The use of the cover illustration is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
