Legal Question in Technology Law in North Carolina

.wav and .mid files and copyrighting

Recently I used some .wav song files and .mid audio song files that I found at various places on the internet to use in a PowerPoint presentation for work. This presentation was for a meeting, was not sold nor duplicated or distributed. My I/T Department was up in arms over the legal liability I may have opened them up to. Was this a serious offense? And, what could the legal ramifications be from my using these files in a presentation for our employees?

something on the Internet does not give

you the right to use it in your presentation.
