Using Songs in a Short Film

[<<<<<AmÈlie Poulain!!!!]

You're right, it could be an option...

I guess I'll try looking for some of those CD's...

This is another good site.  It gives guidelines on how far you can take fair use in education where it is perfectly legal.  


"4.2.3 Music, Lyrics, and Music Video

Up to 10%, but in no event more than 30 seconds, of the music and lyrics from an individual musical work (or in the aggregate of extracts from an individual work), whether the musical work is embodied in copies, or audio or audiovisual works, may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as a part of a multimedia project created under Section 2. Any alterations to a musical work shall not change the basic melody or the fundamental character of the work."

That's B.S.  

fig, read it carefully. Even if it is real (I have no idea), you'd have to only use it for educational purposes and can't use more than 10%... for a 4 minute song, that's 24sec. And... yeah... total is 30. Heh. Doesn't seem like it would help anyone much. I think that's actually for educational purposes...

"Hey, everyone... I made this clip to show you who the beetles were.. if you didn't know..."

I did read it carefully.

It's B.S..

Eh, all I'm saying is that it doesn't really matter... it's not gonna help anyway. The purpose doesn't us nor does the time limit.
