This non-free media file should be replaced with a reduced version to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. A manual reduction has been requested. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A full copy of a song, or high bit-rate sample is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Wikipedia's copyright policy. A sample can be taken from an audio file using an audio editing program. The editor should be used to reduce the sample's length in seconds such that it lasts no more than 10 percent of the length of the original song, up to a maximum of 30 seconds. Such tools can also be used to reduce the bit rate so that the sample quality does not compete with commercially available versions of the work. Once a reduced version of this file has been uploaded: Please replace this template with {{subst:orfurrev}} (through source edit) or {{Orphaned non-free revisions|date=16 April 2024}} (through VisualEditor or Twinkle).

Fair use rationale for use in King Crimson[edit]

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

• It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
• It is a sample of about 37 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.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn. --h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 11:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
