I want to add music to my class Website. What do I need to do?
Answer
Follow these steps:
- Confirm that the course Website is educational and non-commercial.
- If the music will not accompany video on your Web site, it is likely that your use is covered by the college's licenses. If you are not sure, ask a librarian.
- If the music will accompany video on your Web site, check to see if there is licensed music that you can use. The Creative Commons' Legal Music for Videos guide is a good place to start.
- If you cannot find licensed music,do a fair use analysis. If you determine that your use is fair, add the music to your Website.
- If you determine that your use is not fair, request permission from the copyright owner to post the music to your Website.
