: : we're making a movie for health class and plan on distributing it to other schools. we need to put some type of good music in it so we were planning on having a local band play some famous nirvana songs for us and then recording it for ourselves and putting it in the movie. before we do this, is it legal? : Dear Ryan, : There is the law and there is reality. If no one questions, that does not mean that there aren't potential legal problems. I could make a list of the many things. The rights to the music, the right to the performance. The age of the performers, etc etc. If no one question then even with legal problems nothing may happen but if there is a problem, like ASCAP, it could be expensive. : M.
