Cover of the David Bowie single album China Girl.

Rationale of fair use
The image Image:Bowie ChinaGirl.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I Mister B. 14:51, 3 June 2007 (MST) feel it is covered by fair use because:


 * 1) No free or public domain images have been located for this album cover.
 * 2) The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal CD copies of the single.
 * 3) The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the album in any way.
 * 4) This is the artwork, intended by EMI for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
 * 5) It is of significant to the discussion in the article.
 * 6) This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way.
