Rationale of fair use for "One Tree Hill (song)" 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.
 * 1) The chorus line "We run like a river to the sea" was compared by various reviewers to the burial of Greg Carroll, for whom the song was written, which was the primary theme of the song. The lyrics used in this sample relate to his heartbreak, helping the reader to comprehend how Bono felt.
 * 2) The song references Chilean activist Victor Jara, who is discussed in the article. Numerous commentators discuss Jara's relevance in the song.
 * 3) The Edge's guitar playing was described as "[running] through the song like a river", personifying the lyrics. This sound sample assists the reader in understanding that comment.
 * The clip runs for approximately 30 seconds; as the song is 5:23 in length, this falls under the guideline of 10% or 30 seconds (whichever is less) maximum of the song's length (10% of 5:23 - or 323 seconds - is 32.3 seconds). The sample 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.
