Fair use rationale for use in the article It Might as Well Rain Until September

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

it illustrates an educational article about a single that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
it is of reduced audio quality
it is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
it is believed that 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.
