Fair use for Bohemian Rhapsody

 * The clip accompanies a significant section of text about it, which offers critical, academic commentary.
 * The audio sample is of substantially lower quality than the original recording.
 * At 17 seconds, the audio sample is vastly shorter than the master recording. Due to its size, the audio sample would not be a preferred substitute to the main track for either entertainment or commercial purposes. Other 30 second samples of this and other songs on the album appear on Amazon.com and iTunes, among other sites, for promotional purposes.
 * No free or public domain audio samples have been located to represent this subject as alternatives.
 * The audio sample does not limit the copyright owners' rights to reproduce the song, album, or video in any way.
 * The audio sample is being used for informational and educational purposes only.
 * The purpose of the sample is to demonstrate the contrast in style between the different segments of the song. Another sample from the same track is used on the article extracted from a different point in the song, by comparing which the reader can fully understand how the song changes throughout its running time and fully acknowledge the diverse styles used in the piece - something which words alone would not be able to achieve.
 * The sample is also necessary to effectively identify the piece of music to the reader.
 * 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 (and will) be used in place of this audio sample.

 * The purpose of the sample is to help demonstrate how Queen's music matured and changed (vastly) throughout the twenty years of the original line-up. As well as the initial identity of the song and commentary given in the article, it is also used with other samples to show the adventurous nature of Queen's music, demonstrating through audio clips how their style of music shifted from the likes of heavy metal to vaudeville and opera (which applies to this clip in particular), into the likes of funk and mainstream pop music. Such changes are very significant to portray in order for the reader to get a full understanding of Queen's experimental approach to music, something which words alone could not describe sufficiently.
