Just so you know the tag below line is assumed under copyright
law and does need to appear.
"...may not reproduce in whole or in part without prior permission..."
The amount you my use in your movies is 0%. That's the rules.
Not one single drum beat. Nor can you play it your self and
put it in the movie without permission from the composer.
What you want to do is head down to the store and pick
up 'License and Royalty Free' music and sounds. They
often cost a bit more than regular CD's. These you *may*
use. And there is a lot of good ones from sound effects
to whole songs that may be used for adding fun to your
movies. No issues no nasty letters. Hope this helps.
