This is simply not true in this situation we have here in this thread. You can't even use 10 seconds legally.
You can't take 10 seconds clips of any artists' music and put in your porn trailers.
If you owned a music review site yes you could get by with it, but not a porn site. (doh)
I mean you can if you want (obviously) But it will suck when the Deputy comes knocking on your door serving you papers.
Do you see now? Are YOU educated yet? Or are you still in denial?

Ok mister know it all lawyer dude man... Let's go to the next level..
So if you can't put a loop into a porn video trailer, but
a stripper at the strip club can dance to a whole song of it, and ok then you can tell why isnt the stripper paying royalties? It was used commercially no?
songs in the jukebox at the bar... the bartender owns and collects all the cash out the jukebox, should the copyright holder of the song not get a royalty? it was commercially sold...... Where's the lawsuits?
SOMENAMEtube.com runs contests for others to lipsync entire commercial songs in videos on their website which is a commercial enterprise...Tthe people who made it might not be commercial... but should not the song owner get royalties from the tubesite? Why is this tubesite not getting a visit from the LOCAL SHERIFF?

You are correct. There is no reason when there are many great royalty free music sites.
Dude, get copyrighted music OUT of your content. Even 1 second doesn't count as fair use. That's a big myth. All it takes is one snitch to get a cease and desist sent your way. Know the law: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/504.html
I buy royalty free music that I can use as many times as I want from a site called Shockwave-Sound.com. Love 'em.

just talked to my friend who works at tv news station..
said its common practice to use short song bits under 10 seconds so no royalties have to be paid..

You're going to trust some dude that works at a TV station? All of us here know that putting copyrighted music into any of our works is infringement.

The rules regarding a TV news station having a snippet of music in the background as part of news coverage is vastly different than someone using the music to promote their commercial enterprise without having a license or paying royalties.
Put another way, the news station can not use 10 seconds of a copyrighted song as their nightly lead in.
It was asked earlier, and you ducked it, but what exactly is your role with AmpLand?
That's very hot. I'm sure it sells extremely well.
They used Daft Punks song. If it ever came down to it they might end up having to pay a $500 licensing fee for web use. Nothing major.
The label in question is very cool and the publishing company doesn't really give a shit as long as the songwriters don't. A full fledged lawsuit isn't likely. It's not like she's being bukkake'd by 7 black guys while wearing a ball gag.
I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
Isn't most of Daft Punk's music based on samples of other songs anyway?
(Of course they've probably gone the fully legal way and cleared/paid for everything...)
Yeah, they do use a lot of samples. But, they have absolutely cleared and paid for everything they use.
I'm not sure the song in question, "Around The World" has any samples though.
No matter, licensing a song for web use is much easier than most people here imagine. Even if it's for a site like BrookeMarks.com. Anything more hardcore isn't as easy unless you have relationships with the artist/label.
