Fair use for Bohemian Rhapsody

• The clip accompanies a significant section of text about it, which offers critical, academic commentary.
• The audio sample is of substantially lower quality than the original recording.
• At 17 seconds, the audio sample is vastly shorter than the master recording. Due to its size, the audio sample would not be a preferred substitute to the main track for either entertainment or commercial purposes. Other 30 second samples of this and other songs on the album appear on Amazon.com and iTunes, among other sites, for promotional purposes.
• No free or public domain audio samples have been located to represent this subject as alternatives.
• The audio sample does not limit the copyright owners' rights to reproduce the song, album, or video in any way.
• The audio sample is being used for informational and educational purposes only.
• The purpose of the sample is to demonstrate the contrast in style between the different segments of the song. Another sample from the same track is used on the article extracted from a different point in the song, by comparing which the reader can fully understand how the song changes throughout its running time and fully acknowledge the diverse styles used in the piece - something which words alone would not be able to achieve.
• The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should (and will) be used in place of this audio sample.
