| Date of publication | 1982 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Your Weapon |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | 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. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
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. Not possible; unique piece of art. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | 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. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. |
| Other information | Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
