Fair use rationale for "On My Own"[edit]

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 is taken.
• It is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and can not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording.
• It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
• It is not replaceable with a non-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).

I believe that use of this excerpt is in good faith and its inclusion does not reduce the commercial value of the recording from which it is drawn. applecore2009
