When I was in High School, I was part of a broadcast journalism program that was funded by the school district and endorsed by the city. The program ran and aired a 24-7 broadcast on their channel, KLPS Channel 18
My teacher told me that it was okay to use any music clip in my productions for Channel 18 so long as it was less than 30 seconds. The rationale that I was told is that under 30 seconds doesn't violate copyright rights. Is that a load of crap or can I use this loophole in my films?
Also, are you required to buy rights IF you give the musician and label credit for their work? (Yeah I probably could have hit the "search" button but I'm lazy and don't really have time for that. Sorry.)
- Thanks
