[edit] Fair use rationale

This sound sample has been extracted from a commercial audio recording; its inclusion here constitutes "fair use" under United States copyright Law for the following reasons:

• it illustrates an encyclopedic article on the genre of the recording, of which it is an emblematic example,
• it has a duration of 24 seconds from an original 288 seconds, and so can not be a substitute thereof,
• its sound quality (bitrate) has been reduced to below 64 kbps, and can not therefore replace the original,
• it is here affixed in the belief that the copyright holder's rights over the original will not be affected in any way,
• there is no alternative uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample available of comparable import, and
• it is placed in good faith, in the hope that it will amplify and elevate the recording from which it was drawn.

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.

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.
