Re: useing Copyright protected music.

If only one copy of your derivitive work, were to exist for eductional purposes, and it used less than 10% of the song, with a maximum length of 30 seconds, yes, it would be legal. If it's going on the internet, it's not legal, as more than one copy of the work will exist. If the song is 3 minutes long, you're limited to 18 seconds of song, anyways, if it was for eductional use with only one copy existing. So, just don't do it.

Downloading music in Canada is legal too.
Is it legal, or is it just a similiar sitution to the UK, where in order to charge you for it, they need to prove that they are losing money (ie. prove that you would have bought the song if you didn't download it)?
