Fair Use Rationale for image use on Columbia Records

This image is a 1955 vintage Columbia Records promotion copy of the single Hawk-Eye by Bobby Lord showing the two Columbia Records trademarks the record label was using at that time. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates an educational article about the record label from which label design 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 label design 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.
