: I know that it is legal to photocopy a portion of a book for educational purposes. Does the same principle cover music? I am involved in putting together a DVD yearbook for my school and we want to use song clips to go with the videos we produce. Does anyone know if I can use a portion of a song for my production and if so, do you have a link that explains the rules to me?

Dear Mr. Kinnie,
Without encouraging you to take risks, unless you are commercializing and infringing, you may be warned before action would be taken. If big money were involved, that would be a danger.
