Fair use rationale for Gothic metal

edit

This sound sample has been included in the Gothic metal article. It is believed this 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 30 seconds, no more than 10% of the original, and so can not be a substitute thereof,
  • its sound quality (bitrate) has been reduced to 64 kbit/s, and can not therefore replace the original,
  • it is here 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.
