Using someone else's music for my demo (licensing?)

FractalMan · Post by **FractalMan** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 04:21

I'm making VJ demos and sending them to various bands in hopes of working with them. I'm using THAT band's music, and watermarking my name as the visual creator and their ©name as music creator. My question is: can I use some of that demo in my own show reel (or social media) if I give them music credit, whether or not I work with them? Not sure about licensing.

Ask the copyright owner if they'd allow it.

If it's transformative and adds value to their work, I thought it could qualify as "Fair use". Of course I'd rather have their approval, just curious.

That's not remotely how it works
