Rationale of fair use for "What Makes You Beautiful" sample

[edit]

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.

Fair Use Rationale on One Direction

[edit]

This audio sample is used under fair use for the following reasons:

  • The sample is directly relevant to the Artistry section of the article, which discusses One Direction's musical style, using the band's most popular song What Makes You Beautiful to illustrate the band's style such as its guitar-based chorus, cowbell instrumentation, and vocal hooks. The sample provides readers with a concrete example of the band's sound, contributing to a better understanding of their musical identity and production choices.
  • It is a 20-second clip from a longer track, used solely to illustrate the points discussed in the article. It does not replace the need to purchase or stream the full recording.
  • The clip is of reduced quality and limited duration, making it unsuitable for commercial or recreational use.
  • No free equivalent could serve the same illustrative purpose in an encyclopedic context. No other samples of the same track are being used on Wikipedia. Its use does not diminish the market value of the original work or impact its commercial potential.
