Summary
A clip of the title track from Godflesh's 2014 EP Decline & Fall. Duration less than 10% of song. Source: Decline & Fall (EP) by Godflesh. Songwriters and producers: Justin Broadrick, G. C. Green Copyright: 2014. Avalanche Recordings

Rationale of fair use for Decline & Fall (EP)
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * It illustrates educational articles specifically about the song from which this sample was taken and the album from which the song was taken.
 * It is a 26-second sample 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances the quality of the article Decline & Fall, without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. CelestialWeevil (talk) 23:40, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
