As long as I don’t use more than 10 seconds of a song, it is legal.
INCORRECT
There is no length of music use, be it performance, copying, sampling or any other use, for which one does not need to obtain the appropriate rights from the copyright owner. There are many rumors about “fair use” as long as the usage is less than 30 seconds, 7 seconds, or some other arbitrary number. The fact is, there is no such time limit in copyright law.
