Fair use rationale for Sunday Bloody Sunday (song)
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. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics.
 * 2) It is a sample of about 30 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 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.

Fair use rationale for War (album)

 * No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information.
 * The sample does not replace the original market role of the song.
 * The sample is 30 seconds of a much longer song.
 * The sample is of reduced quality.
 * The song has previously been published.
 * The sample meets general Wikipedia content requirements.
 * The sample contributes significantly to the article by illustrating a song specifically discussed in the article.

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. McMillin24 contribstalk 19:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
