Plantilla:Non-free use rationale album cover/doc

This template is to help users write non-free use rationales for non-free album covers and other music cover art as required by WP:NFC and WP:NFURG. Include this in the File page before the {{Non-free album cover}} template, once for each time you insert the album cover art image into an article.

Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make cover art fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.

This template is optimized for album cover art used in the article about the album. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this non-free use rationale may not be appropriate for images of videos.

Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not, consider using the override fields, a different template, or a hand-written justification.
