Rationale for fair use

This 30 second clip of Nirvana's Come As You Are is used for the purposes of criticism and comment on the band Nirvana. It is intended, in the context of scholarship, to inform the reader of the sound of Nirvana while not displacing the original product.

According to section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976:

The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment,...scholarship...is not an infringement of copyright.  [1]

The clip is used for non-profit purposes and represents only a fraction of the actual work. These two factors are noted as relevant by the Act.

This is a sound sample of a recording. Its use on American popular music is claimed as fair use because:

  • It is being used to accompany an educational article, as part of a historical and critical examination
  • It is a short sample of a much longer recording
  • It could not be used to replace the original commercial recording
  • It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely-copyrighted sample of comparable educational value
