Rationale of fair use for "Dreaming of You (Selena 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 one of the many musical styles explored in the album Dreaming of You, illustrating that the song "Dreaming of You" differs from a number of tracks on the album: it is considered to be the most famous works in Selena's career.
 * The sample captures the opening of the song, and is only 30s in length, at 66kbit/s. The 66 kbit/s is well below the quality of the original recording, but slightly above the average rate suggested by Manual of Style (music samples). This is because the suggested rate of 64kbit/s distorts the quality of the string arrangement in the song's background, which is described in the article. Fair use is assumed for critical commentary and discussion of the song's production and lyrical content, and is strictly for educational purposes. Jona yo! Selena 4 ever  14:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
