29 second sample of "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" by The Ramones

[edit] Rationale for use in Ramones

This sample's use on Ramones qualifies as fair use because:

  1. The sample is used to place this recording, and The Ramones, in the historical context of the punk rock music scene of New York City.
  2. The sample is short in relation to the duration of the recorded track and is of an inferior quality to the original recording.
  3. No other samples from the same track are used in Wikipedia.
  4. There is no adequate free alternative available.

[edit] Fair use in Punk rock

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 source band's central role in the development of the subject genre, as discussed in the accompanying text;
  • It is a low-bit-rate sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording;
  • It is not replaceable with a free-use sample of comparable educational value; 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.
