Rationale of fair use for Snoopified[edit]

The image Image:Snoop Dogg - Snoopified. The Best Of.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss?) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is a cover for the album Snoopified created by Priority Records, and intended for wide distribution.
2. The cover is of lower resolution and quality than the original CD (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
4. The cover does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
5. The cover is intended to represent the Snoopified album.
6. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way.
7. The cover artwork ha been published in various media (see [Amazon.com for example)
