Okay great I got my registered version and finishing up
a 100 plus file. I have a few questions about music files.
First off where does the new registered owner get the additional
music files that are mentioned in the ad?
Secondly, copyright area. If one uses a pop song and only uses
a small portion of a familiar tune is that consider copyright
infringement? I suppose classical music is pretty much free of
copyrights unless the composer and symphone has an issue.
Maybe this last question goes beyond the scope of this forum
but I appreciate feedback on the first. I have a seminar in a couple
days and would like the new music files by then, if I could.

Hi RKO
What constitutes copyright infringement varies widely by country. I think it would constitute acceptible "fair use" if you legitimately own the CD and use the music in a disk for your own display purposes.
On the other hand if you were reselling the disks you have burned with PixPlay using copyrighted music you would clearly be setting yourself up for a fall.
NOTE: These comments are just my take on it, they do NOT constitute legal advice, and you should certainly consult with a lawyer if you are in doubt.

Copyright infringement occurs when one of a copyright owner's exclusive rights is violated. A copyright is violated when someone copies, distributes, performs or displays all or part of a copyright work without the permission of the copyright owner.
For instance, a copyright in a musical work may be infringed through the sale of "pirate" or bootleg recordings, by the use of digital "samples" without permission, or by the unpermissive use of a musical work in a video or motion picture.
Fortunately, the issue of home recording and copyright infringement was addressed in 1992 when Congress passed the Audio Home Recording Act, permitting consumers to make home recordings of prerecorded music for noncommercial uses.
