IANAL (as we librarians say) but I agree with that statement. I've done
copyright, patent and trademark reference and also deal with copyright as
part of my current job managing a public website. My copyright advice in a
nutshell: "Please and thank you are the magic words."  Ask permission and
get it in writing, or use music that is clearly available for the use you
want to put it to.

One podcast, Open Stacks, uses music from the Internet Archives. I believe
that's o.k., if it's a nonprofit podcast; they say the music is available
for "noncommercial, royalty-free circulation."
