Summary

Cover of the Nirvana album Nevermind. Shows an infant and a dollar bill. The infant is then-three-month-old Spencer Elden.

Rationale

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free album cover true for Nevermind
Description	This is the front cover for the album Nevermind by the artist Nirvana. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Geffen Records, or the graphic artist(s).
Source	May be found at the following website: http://www.geffen.com/artist/releases/default.aspx/pid/831/aid/257
Article	Nevermind
Portion used	Whole portion
Low resolution?	It is of a low resolution
Purpose of use	Main infobox. 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.
Replaceable?	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.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under the copyright law of the United States as described above.

Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free album cover – for Spencer Elden

As above, except:

Purpose of use: The subject of the article, Spencer Elden, was the baby depicted on the cover art. As the cover is the source of his notability (and, to a certain extent, vice versa), use of the album cover serves as an irreplaceable addition to the understanding of the subject, one which cannot be portrayed through words alone. 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.—Perceval 02:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
