Fair use rationale for use in King Crimson Tập_tin:King_Crimson_-_The_Court_of_the_Crimson_King.ogg

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
  • It is a sample of about 37 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
  • 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. --h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 11:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
