Copyright and Fair Use Issues

Can I use this music as background music in my slideshow?

According to Hall Davidson at TechLearning.com, a teacher or student may use up to 10 percent (max. – 30 sec) of a copyright musical composition if the slideshow or multimedia project is being created for educational purposes.

A possible solution to this frequent problem is to find music in the public domain. A public domain work is a creative work that is not protected by copyright and which may be freely used by everyone. 

A list of public domain music can be found at this url…http://www.pdinfo.com/list/a.htm
