Summary
[edit]| Description | A 23-second sample of "Mean", a song by Taylor Swift from her 2010 album Speak Now |
|---|---|
| Author or copyright owner |
(C) Big Machine Records |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Speak Now album |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Mean (song) |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. The section of the music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's genres (country and bluegrass) and production elements (banjo strums, hand claps, and multitracked vocals), which have received critical commentary. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As a sample from a copyright musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
A music piece shall best be illustrated with a sound sample, since text alone cannot convey the production. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The sample lasts for no longer than 10% of that of the original recording |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The sample's length being less than 10% of the original recording's length will not pose any commercial disadvantage of copyright infringement to the prospective commercial values of the original recording. |
| Other information | 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. The use of this excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances the quality of the article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was extracted. |
