Using music in Scratch projects
I'm planning to make an interactive iPod project but I don't want to use full versions of songs that I've purchased and are copyrighted material. I'd like to have within the project a limit of say 30 seconds of music, but then people will just download it. Is it legal for me to post a project with full versions (not the original files I purchased but those converted to Scratch-acceptable formats)? At the most it would be maybe a dozen songs.
It's hard to make a stealth entry when you're wearing swooshy pants.

Re: Using music in Scratch projects
Someone had a question similar to this, and cheddargirl replied. I think the post is pretty good...

Hey [user], I'm not a lawyer, but as for the stance on video game music, chances are you could probably use it in a Scratch project and claim the use of music under the doctrine of Fair Use as you are not using it commercially for profit...
That might help.
