[edit] Rationale of fair use for Mariah Carey, The Emancipation of Mimi and It's Like That

The audio file RunDMCMariahCarey.ogg is being linked here; though the file contains copyrighted material, I (TreveX^talk 01:45, 9 October 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The sample features 13 seconds of "Hollis Crew" and 13 seconds of "It's Like That". These samples are very short in comparison to the lengths of the original works and will therefore not affect the value of the original works in any significant way.
2. The audio samples do not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the original works in any way.
3. The use of these samples in these articles is important because it illustrates the influence of old-school hip hop on Carey's sound since 2005.
4. The United States Copyright Act of 1976 provides for "the fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, ...scholarship, or research".

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.
