Summary

[edit]

Rationale for fair use: This clip of Porcupine Tree's "Blackest Eyes" is used for the purposes of criticism and comment on the band. It is intended, in the context of scholarship, to inform the reader about the evolution of the sound of Porcupine Tree through their career 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.
