Summary

Rationale of fair use for "Cardigan (song)" sample

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 song from which this sample was taken. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
  • 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.
  • The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Taylor Swift
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The sample is used to illustrate the character of the article subject's voice, to accompany critical commentary on that subject in the Taylor Swift § Voice section, which is devoted to discussing her vocal style. It would not be possible to describe it solely through text, because its qualitative aspects cannot be captured through words. For instance, readers unfamiliar with musical terminology would not be able to understand what the subject's voice sounds like solely through the text description of her vocal range in the article.
