Can a song be used in a presentation for work?
<p>Does it fall under that Fair Use Act of 1976 to include a song as the intro to a presentation for work if the presentation is being given for educational/teaching purposes?</p>

<p>The educational/teaching purposes do not apply to any copyrighted work that you chose to include in the educative material that you might produce.</p>
<p>The educational/teaching purposes means education <strong>refering to</strong> or <strong>related to</strong> the work being used.</p>
<p>If  your presentation is about the musical styles of the 70s, you can use a 70s song to show how it matches those styles, its impact, relevance... But you cannot use the same song as soundtrack in a presentation about how to properly fill the X-520 form.</p>
<p>It also usually requires some depth. So, your presentation being just &quot;These are some songs from the 70s&quot; and playing a few hours would not cut it, even if it serves for some in your public to listen (learn) new songs.</p>
