[edit] Rationale of fair use for Mariah Carey, The Emancipation of Mimi and It's Like That

The audio file RunDMCMariahCarey.ogg is being linked here; though the file contains copyrighted material, I (TreveXtalk 01:45, 9 October 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

  1. The sample features 13 seconds of "Hollis Crew" and 13 seconds of "It's Like That". These samples are very short in comparison to the lengths of the original works and will therefore not affect the value of the original works in any significant way.
  2. The audio samples do not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the origianl works in any way.
  3. The use of these samples in these articles is important because it illustrates the influence of old-school hip hop on Carey's sound since 2005.
  4. The United States Copyright Act of 1976 provides for "the fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, ...scholarship, or research".
