Summary edit

30 second audio sample of the song "Erotica" by pop singer Madonna.
Source: Erotica 1992
Recorded: 1992 Copyright: 1992, Maverick Records

Fair use rationale for Erotica (song) and Erotica (Madonna album) edit

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

it 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.
