Summary
Rationale of fair use in Some Nights (album)
This 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.
- It enriches and illustrates points discussed in the text relating to instrumentation, production, and the history of music with regards to its genres.
- It is a sample of no more than 30 seconds, or 10%, from 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.
- It is uploaded on Wikipedia, a not-for-profit organisation.
Specific rationale
- For reference in the article, as "We Are Young" brought the band mainstream success and is important in the band's history
