Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free audio or music sample true for Nowhere Man (song)
Description

This is the sample from a recording of Nowhere Man. 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

Nowhere Man (song)

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.

Short, relatively low-quality sound sample from "Nowhere Man" by The Beatles.

Fair use rationale for Nowhere Man (song)

[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 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 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.

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

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 key themes of the album article: the Beatles' drawing inspiration from the folk rock music of the Byrds, as part of a reciprocal exchange of influences between the two bands in the mid 1960s; how Rubber Soul represented a significant progression on the Beatles' previous work in terms of lyrical maturity and recording practice; and how, according to several commentators, the album contained their first overtly drug-inspired music and represented the start of the 1960s trend for psychedelic music. Accompanying the sample, in a subsection dedicated to "Nowhere Man", the text discusses the Byrds-like aspects of the song, including the harmony vocals and treble-rich guitar tones. The excessive sound processing given to the latter is also an example of the studio techniques used on Rubber Soul. The song is further discussed in terms of its departure from any lyrical theme relating to standard, boy–girl love songs, and how instead it conveys the existential concerns raised for its author by his experiences with the drug LSD. In the text, "Nowhere Man" is cited by music critic Tim Riley as a thematic precursor to "A Day in the Life" and a song in which its narrator "sings for the unsung, the people who have shut themselves off from life". A quote from author Mark Prendergast conveys the psychedelic quality of the song and describes the production sheen achieved in the studio.
  • 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.
