Non-free use rationale for Intimacy (Bloc Party 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 27 seconds 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

 * 1) Based on E. E. Cummings' poem I Carry Your Heart With Me.
 * 2) Critically-acclaimed by Ian Cohen of Pitchfork Media.
 * 3) Treated by creators as their favourite on the record.
 * 4) Contains the use of guitar overdubbing and hi-hat patterns throughout.

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. Rafablu88 12:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
