Rationale of fair use for "21 (Adele album)" sample
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. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
 * 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.
 * It is of a lower quality than the original 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.
 * 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.

Additional rationale

 * The sample captures the song's bridge and penultimate chorus, with musical inflections reminiscent of the deep south. This southern influence is discussed and commented on in the article, and the sample aids in the understanding of the discussion.
 * The song was composed immediately after the events that inspired it; critics note this nuanced sense if immediacy and passion in the song's production, which is discussed in the article.
 * The sample is only 22s in length, at 44kbps, well below the rate of the original.
