Summary

30 second sample of REM's "Radio Free Europe"

Rationale of fair use on Radio Free Europe (song)

This sample is used as an example of R.E.M.'s work, as well as to describe the structure of the song.

1. It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
2. It is a short sample taken 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. WesleyDodds (talk) 03:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Rationale of fair use on Music of Athens, Georgia

This sample's use on music of Athens, Georgia qualifies as fair use because:

1. The sample is used to place this recording, and the band REM, in the historical context of the music scene of Athens, Georgia
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.

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. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
