Fair use rationale
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
- It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken, as well as the band that performs it.
- 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.
- 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.
Specific rationale for "Where the Streets Have No Name"
- It is used for educational purposes to identify the song that is discussed at length in the article.
- It is used in an article that discusses specific elements of the song's background and composition and provides commentary on these elements where prose cannot.
Specific rationale for The Joshua Tree
- It is used in a section providing commentary on "Where the Streets Have No Name". The sample is used to supplement the article and depict the song's composition, both musically and lyrically, where prose cannot.
- It is used to provide an example of The Edge's guitar playing style, typified by the use of a delay effect to repeat notes, from the album.
