Fair use rationale for U2 and Vertigo

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. 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, as well as the band that performs it.
2. It is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording.
3. It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
4. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
5. 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.

This sample considerably improves the quality of the articles it is part of, serving as an adequate sample of the style of the performers. Kristbg 20:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
