One thing though, if you cut out more than 3/4 of a piece you can post it on the internet. In Belgium it is permitted to post short samples of intellectual property. I don't know about USA, but I think too.

Using material for private use is legal, only if the composer says no you can't use it. People may copy songs for private use, because it is impossible for the law to control this, even if the author objects to this. The composer may ask for money, but again it is impossible to control the copying of songs. Using songs for economical reasons is not allowed.

So posting music samples is allowed, that's what I think. Whole songs are rather not allowed.


BTW: nice, cute cat!
