Rationale for fair use in "Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)"

 * 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.

Specifically:
 * 1) It illustrates a section of the article directly discussing the song, "Arthur". This song is extremely significant in the album's plotline, story, and form. It is believed that a sample of "Victoria" vastly improves the understanding of the subject, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire), as a whole.
 * 2) The unique, distinct lyrics present in the song revolve around themes directly discussed in the article. This clip serves to show this as well.
 * 3) A sample of the song shows one of the album's most famous songs. It improves the integrity and the quality of the article as a whole.
