Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York

Re: Video Copyright

I'll assume you're not a school and this is not an educational, non-commercial activity but that you intend to sell the video for profit. If my assumptions are correct, this would not be a fair use and you would require permission from the owner/administrator of the song. The usual rates for such a use are not very expensive so you should seek permission. It's relatively easy to do and not expensive if you have a knowledgeable attorney or other person who regularly clears music. If the music publisher is one of the majors (e.g., Universal, EMI, BMG or Warner/Chappell, you can usually do it through their websites.
