Content Sample: . Music in Education.The Music Licensing rules also generally apply to using music in the classroom. There's no question that performing music in class is a public performance. However, music in the class room may have an exemption from licensing in three ways. If music is played on a special website as part of distance education and otherwise complies with all prerequisites under the TEACH Act, then it will be exempt from the requirement of getting permission or paying licensing fees. If music is played live in class for the purpose of education or research, it may be exempt from permission and license fees as fair use. A majority of the four factors of fair use would have to favor fair use so music may have to be edited so that entire songs are not played. If music selection is not important, you may simply bring a radio to class and tune in your university's radio station. You should first determine if your university's radio broadcast license allows public performance of the broadcast in a classroom. See Getting Permission. You can also use without permission any music with expired copyrights or music that has been donated to the Public Domain. See Public Domain and Public Domain Resources.
. snip .Music Plagiarism and Fair Use. Composing a song that is substantially similar to another song you have heard and representing to others that it is your original work is considered plagiarism. It can also be copyright infringement. The motive in documented music plagiarism can range from the subconsciously innocent to the callous indifferent to the notoriously defiant. At the least offensive end of the spectrum, most notably in George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord," plagiarism is claimed to be innocent or committed in the subconscious. In other words, Harrison swears he thought his song was an original song. At the other end of the spectrum, you have the defiant song plundering and ridiculing by rap group 2 Live Crew. They wanted to make fun at the expense of Roy Oribison's "Pretty Woman." They asked for permission to use the song and despite permission being refused, they published a somewhat obscene "parody" of the song and exploited it commercially in a nationally distributed album. Copyright law applies to these matters in curious ways because George Harrison lost his copyright infringement case while 2 Live Crew won theirs. But 2 Live Crew's version of another song is not considered plagiarism. They never represented that they wrote the original song. The research and study of music plagiarism may yield the essence of originality in music. For those who wish to take the journey, embark here:
