It's safer to use music you have permissions to.   But....

Usually people let it slide.  Kevin Smith's vlog uses a ton of copyrighted music, and do many other people's, and no one's raising any eyebrows.  Just don't try to sell it, or put the vlog in iTunes' listings.

The answer is basically "No, but [for the time being] you can get away with it."  Some people I know are trying to work out an extended solution to this which would crack open the archives for use.  More as it develops.

i dunno if that means they dont care for less than that? permission isn't implied... but u could probably bank on them not wasting their time if the circulation is low...

thats all in the context of CD releases n stuff... how that translates to new media ... no idea

generally speaking i have no idea what im talking about

Isn't it legal to use like a ten second snippet of copyrighted music
under the "Fair Use Clause" of the law?
