Fair use for the Human Expression

This image, Human Expression.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright, I, (Shocking Blue•talk) feel it is covered by the U. S. fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution copy of the publicity photograph;
It is used for educational and informational purposes only;
The image adds significantly to the article because it shows the bandmembers;
The image was utilized as the basis for the cover of two different CDs collecting the recordings of this band; and,
It is featured prominently on several websites by individuals (or companies) seeking to sell or resell the album or to describe their record collection, or who otherwise wish to express their interest in the music contained on this album.

Summary

Publicity photo of the band to illustrate the article.
