[vet-mm] Student sound files

[claire]

Have a look at CAL licence info,

Schools have a special licence that allows us to use certain copyright materials for teaching purposes eg we can photocopy a certain proportion of a book etc.
For music it's basically 10% of a piece, but as Daylan says, you cannot then publish or present outside of the classroom setting. Most contests/exhibitions are very strict on this - they don't want to be sued!

It's hard but I always encourage my kids to use copyright free or original material, as they never know what they might want to do with their masterpiece in the future. 
If not their own work, I make them endeavour to get permission to use it (which always puts most of them off using it) and I make them acknowledge the work that is not their own (another thing that puts them off using non-original material!!)
