[edit] Summary

Short sample of Gap Band's "Early in the Morning", 1982, from the album Gap Band IV.

[edit] Rationale of fair use for the music sample

The image Image:Gap_Band_-_Early_in_the_Morning.ogg is being linked here; though the sample is originally copyright, I (Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss?) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The sample is a cover for the single "Early in the Morning" created by Total Experience, and intended for wide distribution.
2. The sample is of lower bitrate and quality than the original CD (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. No free or public domain samples have been located for this single.
4. The sample does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or in any way.
5. The sample is intended to represent the "Early in the Morning" single.
6. The sample is being used for illustrational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single in any way.
7. The material has previously been published in numerous sources, with higher bitrate samples available elsewhere (Amazon.com, for example).
