Rationale of fair use for Downtown (song)

 * 1) It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
 * 2) It is a sample from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording
 * 3) It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value
 * 4) 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 does not reduce the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. Peregrine Fisher 01:20, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
