Rationale of fair use for Butterfly sample[edit]

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

• It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
• 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.

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 be used in place of this audio sample.

• I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances the quality of the article Butterfly, without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
• The song was described by Carey as her best work, her opus and most heartfelt ballad. The song's lyrics, especially in the chorus we written for Carey's then husband Tommy Mottola, as something she wished he'd say to her. The sample features the chorus and the personal lyrics and message it carries, as well as the background vocals. The sample gives readers an idea of how personal the song was, and what Carey considered her Opus.--PeterGriffin • Talk2Me 04:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
