This media file has an associated English-language subtitle file TimedText:Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden song - sample).ogg.en.srt

Fair use rationale

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in Black Hole Sun is claimed as fair use because:

It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
It is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
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.-5- (talk) 04:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
