Summary

Sample of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, from its 1991 album Nevermind.

Fair use rationale for Smells Like Teen Spirit

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in these articles is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken.
• It is used to specifically convey the song's noted use of dynamic shifts between the quiet verse and loud chorus sections, and is used to enhance commentary on its composition.
• It is a short sample from a much longer recording following length and audio quality guidelines detailed at Wikipedia:SAMPLE, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. WesleyDodds 21:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
