Summary

 * Artist: Simon & Garfunkel
 * Title: "Cecilia"
 * Sample: 4.743 seconds (from 0.267 – 5.011 out of 175.072 seconds, 2.7% of total recording)
 * Source: Bridge over Troubled Water. © 1970 Columbia Records

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in Midlife Crisis is claimed as fair use because:


 * 1) it illustrates an educational article that includes a historical and critical examination of the excerpt;
 * 2) it is a sample of under 3% of the total length of the recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
 * 3) it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.

I, Bathazar, 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; however, if the owner of the copyright wishes to challenge my use, I will be happy to remove it promptly, with apology.
