Fair use rationale
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, as well as the band that performs it.
 * 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.

Specific rationale for "Breathe (U2 song)"

 * 1) The song contains the lyric "16th of June", which is a direct homage to the James Joyce novel Ulysses. This lyric is showcased in the clip.
 * 2) Reviews of the song variously described it as "unmistakable blend of soaring, widescreen sonics and unflinching openhearted emotion that's been their trademark"; this clip is intended to illustrate that.
 * 3) Lead singer Bono described the delivery of the song as an intimate outburst; the portion of the chorus used in this clip illustrates that as well.
 * 4) The song is 5:00 long, and according to the "10% or 30 sec, whichever is lower" rule, the clip has been specifically cut down to 29 seconds. (10% of 5:00 is 0:30:00).
