Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Voice of Jamaica
Description	Audio sample from "If Loving Was a Crime" by Buju Banton
Source	Sample from Voice of Jamaica Artist: Buju Banton featuring Brian and Tony Gold Songwriter(s): Buju Banton, Myrie, Michael Vincent Bennett Producer: Michael Vincent Bennett Copyright: © Mercury, PolyGram
Article	Voice of Jamaica
Portion used	31 seconds (<10% of original 4:53)
Low resolution?	The sample is of reduced quality (and/or timespan) compared to the original, yet of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification. 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	It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
Replaceable?	As a sample from a copyright 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.
