All Answers To Questions

Answer 1

no it's not. "credit" is not the same as payment.

Answer 2

Yes, Yes and double yes.

Answer 3

When in doubt, ask the owner. If there is no explicit permissions on how their property may be used on their website, e-mail them and ask.

Answer 4

No. You must have a broadcast/performance license to use any copyrighted music on a website. You could get an ASCAP or BMI performance license that would cover this use. In this case, you don't actually need to contact the musician; just one of the licensing organizations. The only exception is if the material has been issued under the Creative Commons or similar license. Royalty free music can be found through Wikimedia Commons. You don't need the ASCAP or BMI license for this music. See links below. In your case, just sending the email is insufficient; you MUST either use a license, or get explicit permission from the owner of the copyright.

Answer 5

it doesnt matter if it isnt being sold, if it is not your own stuff that you mae you cannot get a copyright w/o the owners permission...
