Summary
[edit]20 second audio sample of the song "Ray of Light" by pop singer Madonna.
Source: Ray of Light 1997
Recorded: 1997
Copyright: 1997, Maverick Records/ Warnos Bros. Records
Fair use rationale for "Ray of Light" and Madonna
[edit]This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
- The sample shows the techno elements present in the track, as well as disco, trance, and Eurodance influences, especially in the composition section where the clip is present.
- Its usage in the Madonna biography article shows the singer utilizing the higher register of vocals, which is being critically discussed in the section where the sample is used.
- The clip illustrates an educational article about an artist that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
- It is a sample of about 20 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
- 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.
