Fair use rationale for Alexander's Ragtime Band
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * 1) It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken.
 * 2) It is a sample of about 25 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording.
 * 3) It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
 * 4) It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * 5) It will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
