Is a song clip which is 30 seconds or less exempt from public performance fees?

0

There is no exemption for 30 seconds of less under U.S. Copyright Law. Record companies may permit such uses by certain businesses for the purpose of promoting album sales. Remember, however, that record companies derive most of their revenue from sales; BMI songwriters and publishers, on the other hand, depend heavily on income from public performance royalties.
