Rationale of fair use for "The Freeze"

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.
  • It is a sample of no more than 24 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.
  • 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.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) The Freeze (song)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The sound file will illustrate the quote "two-fingered synth arpeggios, plus enough percussive kick-drum snaps underpinned with bassline rhythms to fill dancefloors."
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The text can only describe the music.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The size and length of the file are as small as possible for making the point.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
