On second thought, those pics would be derivative works of the cover and hence not acceptable for Commons.>> ---------------------- A derivative work must pass the "substantially similar" bar (in the US at least). I don't think a picture of you in your purple spandex alligator costume holding up an album cover, while simultaneously eating a plate of spaghetti, is substantially similar to the album cover itself (but I may be wrong). Which is why, for example, an index to all the words used in a book, does not violate the copyright of the book, because an index, is not a novel.
