File:Opeth - Deliverance.ogg

This clip of Opeth's "Deliverance" is used for the purposes of criticism and comment on the band Opeth. It is intended, in the context of scholarship, to inform the reader of the sound of Opeth while not displacing the original product.

According to section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976:

The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment,...scholarship...is not an infringement of copyright.

The clip is used for non-profit purposes and represents only a fraction of the actual work. These two factors are noted as relevant by the Act.

Fair use rationale in Opeth
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 short sample from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial 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.
