Throughout the song, Tucker uses the line “rock on” multiple times.

    Quantitatively, the humming sample constitutes four seconds of the 4:03 minute-long Crash Test Dummies song. Even though, the sample constitutes less than 2% of the original song, a court is not likely to find, as a matter of law, a de minimis use without first looking at the qualitative importance of the sample to the song as whole, like the court in TufAmerica that refused to find a de minimis use based solely on the fact that the sample constituted a small portion (i.e., nine seconds of an 8:11 minute-long song) the original song. See TufAmerica, 968 F. Supp. 2d at 603. Indeed, in TufAmerica, the court noted that before rendering the use of the sample as de minimis, it had to look to the qualitative importance of the sample in relation to the original song.
