Source	A version can or could be obtained from Universal Pictures.
Article	Back to the Future
Portion used	A short section sufficient to identify the work concerned, or to aid in critical commentary of the work.
Low resolution?	The sample is of sufficient quality for commentary and identification, but its quality is reduced from the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for "unauthorised distribution" or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original recording.
Purpose of use	To illustrate the music of Back to the Future. The musical tone is used to accompany scenes in the film and cannot be described effectively entirely in prose..
Replaceable?	As a sample from a copyrighted musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
