Fair Use Rationale edit

Rationale of fair use for "Fly" sample edit

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
• It is a sample of no more than 30 seconds or 10% of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
• It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
• It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
• It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. Pseud 14 (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
