Rationale of fair use on The Wiggles
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording, used as an example of The Wiggles' work, and to illustrate the point in the article about how the group revamped songs from The Cockroaches' library to fit the genre of children's music. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:


 * 1) It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken.  The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain the song's first few bars.
 * 2) It is a sample of no more than 30 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.
 * 3) It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * 4) It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value
 * 5) 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
 * 6) The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample.

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. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 16:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
