You should be fine up to a distribution of 500,000 copies. Same as a book cover. It's a good idea to add a photo credit inside the cover as well. My recommendation though would be to pay the extra few bucks and get the extended license to cover yourself. It's really a small cost considering the use and distribution. Don't have to sell many albums to cover it especially if it will be on iTunes.

Hi,

Correct me if I am wrong, as I understand the primary entity of the product is the music (my music) not the cover so everything should be fine.

Please reply with words not with a link

Regards.
