[edit] Fair use in "Police and Thieves"

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

• It illustrates an educational article whose titular topic is the recording from which this sample is derived;
• It is a low-bit-rate sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording;
• It is not replaceable with a free-use sample of comparable educational value; and
• 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.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips.
