So, you must obtain permission to use any
amount of copyrighted music beyond a
project you present in your class.
If you post your work online, and it includes

copyrighted music, you have violated
copyright.
Stims writes, “At issue is whether the material

has been used to help create something new
or merely copied verbatim into another work.
When taking portions of copyrighted work, ask
yourself the following questions:
Has the material you have taken from the

original work been transformed by adding new
expression or meaning?
Was value added to the original by creating

new information, new aesthetics, new insights,
and understandings?
Purposes such as scholarship, research, or

education may also qualify as transformative
uses because the work is the subject of review
or commentary…” and therefore, do not violate
fair use.
