Template:Non-free use rationale audio sample
| Description |
This is the sample from a recording of {{{Article}}}. Copyright in the recording is believed to belong to the record label or the artist. |
|---|---|
| Source |
A version can or could be obtained from the record label. |
| Article |
[[{{{Article}}}]] |
| 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 |
Choose from: Infobox / Header / Section / Artist / Technique / Other |
| 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. |
| 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. |

This template is to help users write non-free use rationales for non-free audio recording samples, especially samples of music, as required by WP:NFC and WP:NFURG. Include this in the File page before the {{Non-free audio sample}} template, once for each time you insert the audio sample into an article.
Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make audio samples fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.
This template is optimized for audio samples used in the article about the album. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this non-free use rationale may not be appropriate for music videos. Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not, consider using the override fields, a different template, or a hand-written justification.
