Rationale of fair use for London Calling (song)
editThis is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
- It illustrates an educational article specifically about the album which contains the song from which this sample was taken and illustrates points discussed in the text relating to instrumentation and vocal style.
- It is a sample of no more than ten percent of a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
- It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
- It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
- 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.
