Fair use rationale for use in the article Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

  • It illustrates an educational article about the song, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?". The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's various musical and vocal styles, and as one of the most successful versions of the song.
  • 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances the quality of the article Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?, without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. Collegebookworm (talk)
