Fair use rationale

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, as well as the band that performs it.
2. It is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording 4 minutes and 29 seconds in length, and 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.

Specific rationale for "The Fly (U2 song)"

1. It is used for educational purposes to identify the song that is discussed at length in the article.
2. It is used in an article that discusses specific elements of the song's background and composition and provides commentary on these elements where prose cannot.

Specific rationale for Achtung Baby

1. It is used in a section providing commentary on the song from which the sample is derived. The sample is used to supplement the article and depict the song's composition where prose cannot.
2. It is of a song that was chosen as the record's lead single because it sounded nothing like the artist's previous work. The sample is used to provide commentary on the artist's drastic change in musical direction and provide insight into the artist's decision to select it as a single.
3. It is indicative of the record's overall sound, as it demonstrates electronic dance and industrial influences.
