Summary

30 second audio clip of Pearl Jam's "Better Man" copyright Sony Music

Fair use rationale for Better Man, Vitalogy, and Pearl Jam

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
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; and
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 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.BP322 00:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
