Summary
A twenty-seven second clip of the song "Ava Adore" from the album Adore by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Fair use rationale
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:


 * It emphasizes the band's new electronic music-based sound via the use of drum machines and effects.
 * It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
 * It is a sample of about 27 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
 * 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. WesleyDodds 04:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
