Fair use

true

Fair use rationale for this sound clip:

1. Its use in Last of the Summer Wine adds significantly, since it is the theme song for the show;
2. Its length is only thirty seconds (the length of the full song is approximately 3 min and 30 seconds)
3. It does not infringe on the commercial value of the original music recording, since it has been reduced in quality by compression and been overlaid with sound effects from the opening sequence;
4. It does not infringe on the commercial value of the television program it was recorded from, since it is presented without the accompanying video and includes no dialogue, acting, etc.
