Hello,
I'm making some short films involving mixed martial arts competitors. Up till now I have only used footage from training and overlayed creative commons music on top.
I filmed at a live event this weekend and the fighters entrance music plays in the background over the crowd. Is that fair game to include without any license concerns? I am not making any money on this project at all. In fact, I'm losing money but it's fun.
I know the UFC only allows the music on the live event, but for replays they overlay their own stuff to avoid paying anything. But that is definitely for profit, my project isn't.
Thoughts or ideas on where to find the answer?
