Rationale of fair use for [[]] sample[edit]

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

• It is a sample of no more than 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and 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.

Fair use rationale for article On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away[edit]

The lyrics and melody of this song were copyrighted in 1897 by Paul Dresser and are currently public domain. The sample has been encoded using the lowest level of quality available in Audacity, which is about 64kbs. The recording serves the purpose of demonstrating a modern recording of the song which was popular during the early twentieth century. This recording will be a primary representative of the song within the article and provides an invaluable illustration of the melody that cannot be conveyed by only words. Very static antique but public domain recordings, over 100 years old, are available but of such a quality that renders them of very limited value. The only part of the song being played in the sample is the chorus, while most of the artists artistic interpretations in the song are made in rest of the song. The chorus adheres perfectly to the original melody and singing style.

Fair use rationale for Rufus Wainright[edit]

This is only sample of Rufus Wainright's singing on his article, and does not infringe on his copyrights because 1) it is a song that is not of his original composition, but a common folk song 2) it is only a 30 second sample of a song over six minutes in length 3) it is of reduced quality rending that make it considerably inferior to an original copy
