[edit] Licensing

This is a sample from a copyrighted audio recording. It is believed that the use of this work qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law when used on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, where: The sample is being used for commentary on the recording in question. It contributes significantly to the encyclopedia articles it is used in (listed under the heading "File links" below) in a way that cannot be duplicated by other forms of media. The sample is short in relation to the duration of the recorded track and is of an inferior quality to the original recording. No other samples from the same track are used in Wikipedia. There is no adequate free alternative available. A more detailed fair use rationale may be provided by the user who uploaded this recording. Any other uses of this recording, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. If you are the copyright holder of this recording and you feel that its use here does not fall under "fair use" please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for information on how to proceed. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

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

• it illustrates an educational article that includes a historical and critical examination of the excerpt;
• it is a sample of about 30 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.

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; however, if the owner of the copyright wishes to challenge my use, I will be happy to remove it promptly, with apology.
