Summary[edit]

Fair use rationale for Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician[edit]

The front cover of Grace Jones 1986 12" single "Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician", copyright Manhattan Records. Record cover to illustrate the article about album Inside Story, the Grace Jones discography, and the relevant period in the history of Grace Jones. Although the picture is subject to copyright I feel and assert that it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution copy of a single cover;
• it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the single in any way;
• no free alternative is available;
• its use is commensurate with usage throughout discographies and album listings across the world wide web;
• its low resolution means copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the single artwork.
