Can I legally play popular music on a podcast?

It is technically possible. But a legal sampling of popular music can be extremely expensive. The process of getting permission is known as clearance. This process can be complex and costly.

What is the time limit for the sample to be within fair use?

There is no limit or threshold. There are many rumors and myths about music samples being within fair use for podcasting if the used fragment is less than two seconds (or 3 or 5, it doesn’t matter). This is not true. Any usage of protected material can infringe copyrights.

Can I use the music sample for the podcast if it is altered and not easily recognizable?

You can’t use any sample without infringing copyrights, regardless of how short or how much altered. Court rulings in the early 2000s on music sampling effectively eliminated the usage of fair use for a very small, altered part of the sample. It does not matter if the sample is basically unrecognizable.

Can a music sample be used in remixes and arrangements?

No, it is the same situation as described above. Taking a sample and rearranging it without clearance would still violate copyright.

In what types of situations fair use can be applied for music on a podcast?

You could potentially use music samples for the purpose of parody. But you have to be careful. Samples can be used if you are parodying the piece itself, criticizing the product, author, text, or any other component of the work.

Can I use parts of interviews on my podcast within fair use or will this violate copyrights?

Using parts of the interviews is in principle governed by a document called “ Set of Principles in Fair Use for Journalism .” This document regulates behaviors for both full-time professional and amateur individuals who report on issues.
