Rationale of fair use for "This Is What Rock N' Roll Looks Like" 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 from a much longer 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.
  • The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample.

For each specific article edit

  • In Porcelain Black, the sample is needed to display the type of artistry that appears on her debut album. It is also the most explicit and widely recognizable example in her discography of when raspy vocals, death growls, and electropop synths are used in her music. Its inclusion should be under the section about her debut album or artistry as a whole.
  • In Mannequin Factory, it illustrates the section on the composition and style, as it embodies the genre-fusion which characterizes the album as whole. It is best to re-use this sample, rather than uploading a new one because it is, again, most widely recognizable, as the album's lead single, and is also showcases explicitly the combined elements of industrial and pop music.
  • In "This Is What Rock N' Roll Looks Like", it helps illustrate the "Music and lyrics" section of the article, because it contains the chorus, a clear representation of the genre, as well as the characteristic scream, which was widely reported on by media sources.
  • In death growl and Screaming (music), it helps showcase the commonness of screaming in popular music, as well as displaying it from the unique angle of a female singer. Since it appears in a pop song, it can help illustrate how this seemingly uncommon musical element has gained some mainstream recognition, while showing exactly how the scream sound when articulated in a clear and brief example.
