This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects: Who owns the copyright to the photo? The copyright is held by the family of the man pictured in the photo, who have publicly stated that its use anywhere, for any purpose, has never been authorized. Adding an external link to a copyright violation is a serious violation of one of Wikipedia's major legal policies. Can I put in an external link to a picture of it? No. However, copyright law applies regardless of the content. You mean the cover art image wasn't rejected because of the distressing content? It is true that many editors over the years have objected to this image as a violation of the subject's moral rights, personality rights, and privacy rights. This mandatory requirement cannot be met for this image, because it has never been published or publicly displayed by or with permission from the copyright holders. In particular, the relevant Wikipedia policy says that fair use is only acceptable if the image was originally "published or publicly displayed outside Wikipedia by (or with permission from) the copyright holder". The normal fair use rules for album cover art do not apply when the cover art is itself a copyright violation. But we could just say that it's "fair use". Why isn't there a picture of the album cover art? All the other articles have pictures of the cover art! The main feature of the album cover art is a photo that was used without permission, in violation of U.S.
