Fair use rationale

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in the article "Shooting Star (Modern Talking song)" is claimed as fair use because:
 * it complies with guidelines as described at Music samples
 * file was created in Ogg Vorbis format, with a quality setting of 0
 * it is a sample of 30 seconds which is <10% of the original recording of 6 minutes, 32 seconds
 * its length and quality would not readily allow it to 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 illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
 * 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
