Fair-use rationale for Project 86

I, Noj_R believe this music sample falls under fair-use because:

This sample is solely being used to showcase the band's current sound and folk musicianship.
This sample is of low quality and inadequate for duplication.
This sample cannot be duplicated through any other means.
This sample in no way inhibits the company's ability to sell albums, but may enhance awareness and increase sales.
