I know that when Holley was trying to upload a couple of songs to an MP3
site, she was told in order to make a cover song available on the internet
there was a separate license involved even though she had already received
permission to include this song on her album. But if your friend is putting
merely snippets of songs on her website then maybe it isn't an issue. I
would contact the Harry Fox Agency or visit their website.
