Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Ray of Light (song)
Description	Madonna dancing frenetically against various time lapse sequences showing various movements and human activities.
Source	Self-taken
Article	Ray of Light (song)
Portion used	Cropped at sides slightly
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	The image is used in the article section giving a visual description of the music video of the song, and illustrates some key elements discussed in the analysis of the clip. No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section. The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the song. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
Replaceable?	As a music video, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the images from the music video 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 music video shot in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. ℗ & © 1998 Warner Records Inc.
