File:Disarm (Smashing Pumpkins song - sample).ogg

18.64 seconds from near the beginning of the 1993 song Disarm by The Smashing Pumpkins, from their album Siamese Dream.

According to the Siamese Dream album cover, the song is (P) & © 1993 Virgin Records America, Inc.

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
 * It is a sample of 18.64 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 23:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
