Flash Music
What are the legal restraints when it comes to incorporating music into flash on a commercial web site. I realise you can download tunes from Flashkit.com etc. but let's say I wanted to use a song by a famous artist, would I run the risk of being sued?
Cheers.

In some cases an artist may allow you to use their song for nothing... but I can't think of any offhand - after all, that music is their source of income in most cases.

Well, I dont think you should really worry too much if your site is very very small scale. I will suggest licensing it of course but if you are too small a player the music recording company will not even bother to sue you.
They will sue you if you are a bigger fish.e.g. if sony.com usas a Britney 'Im a Slave for you' song in their Flash without licensing they will get sued. If your company website looks like this: http://technografix.hypermart.net/ ,they will hate to waste time on you.What you can do with Cpanel ------------------> |||||
