Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free audio or music sample true for In My Life
Description

This is the sample from a recording of In My Life. Copyright in the recording is believed to belong to the label, Parlophone, or the artist, The Beatles.

Source

A version can or could be obtained from Parlophone.

Article

In My Life

Portion used

A short section sufficient to identify the work concerned, or to aid in critical commentary of the work.

Low resolution?

The sample is of sufficient quality for commentary and identification, but its quality is reduced from the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for "unauthorised distribution" or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original recording.

Purpose of use

Section. The audio sample is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as sample. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The audio sample is placed at the beginning of the section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.
Use for this purpose stated does not compete with the purposes of the original recording, namely the artist's providing a musical performance or recording services to audio or music production concerns and in turn marketing music or audio recordings to the public.

Replaceable?

As a sample from a copyrighted musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different sample would be misleading as to the identity of the work.

Other information

Use of the sample in the article is understood to be compatible with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. Use of this sample outside of Wikipedia may be subject to other terms.

Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of In My Life//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Beatles_in_my_life.oggtrue

Short, relatively low-quality sound sample from "In My Life" by The Beatles.

Fair use rationale for In My Life

[edit]

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

  • It illustrates an educational article specifically about the song from which this sample was taken.
  • It is a sample of less than 30 seconds of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
  • It is of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.
  • It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
  • 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.

Fair use rationale for Rubber Soul

[edit]

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

  • The song is discussed in the context of its initial release, on the Beatles' Rubber Soul album. It exemplifies two key themes of the album article: the Beatles' drawing inspiration from the soul music of contemporary artists signed to the Motown and Stax record labels; and how Rubber Soul represented a significant progression on the Beatles' previous work in terms of lyrical content and recording practice. Accompanying the sample, in a subsection dedicated to "In My Life", the text discusses the inspiration provided by the Miracles' "The Tracks of My Tears" and the reciprocal influences shared between the Beatles and the Miracles. The song's lyrics evoke John Lennon's youth in Liverpool and reflect his nostalgia for a time before the Beatles achieved international fame; in Lennon's description, the song was his "first real major piece of work". As discussed in the article's Production section, the song's piano solo, styled through tape-speed manipulation to sound like a harpsichord, is an example of the Beatles' use of more-advanced studio techniques and diverse sounds on Rubber Soul and, in its Bach-like quality, as an example of their incorporation of aspects of classical music through their producer, George Martin. Author Jonathan Gould cites the "In My Life" as the album's sole example of a song that evokes the Beatles' "original ground theme of happiness-in-relationship".
  • It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
  • 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.
  • It is a sample of less than 30 seconds and no more than 10% of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording. It is also of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.

The use of the excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the album article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
