Fair use 30-second sample of Wire's "Dot Dash," released 1978.

[edit] Fair use in Wire (band)

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording, used to illustrate Wire's sound during its early period. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

1. It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
2. It is a sample of 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording
3. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value
4. 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 does not reduce the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. + Ceoil 02:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

• 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.
