Specific rationale of fair use for "Exit (song)" sample 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, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
   1. The song was written about the mind of a psychotic killer. The lyrics used in this sample relates to the killer's thoughts process as he holds a pistol.
   2. The guitar was described by reviewers as "decidedly scary", and the overall track as being very dark. The musical elements in this section aids the reader in understanding why when compared to the quotes used in the article.
2. The clip runs for approximately 25 seconds; as the song is 4:13 in length, this falls under the guideline of 10% or 30 seconds (whichever is less) maximum of the song's length (10% of 4:13 - or 253 seconds - is 25.3 seconds). The sample 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.
