Fair use rationale for Cool (Gwen Stefani song)[edit]

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. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics.
2. It is a sample of about 19 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.

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. Rossrs 09:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
