Use of Copyrighted Music on a Website in Connecticut
Connecticut does not have specific laws or regulations regarding the use of copyrighted music on a website. However, the use of copyrighted music without permission from the owner may constitute copyright infringement, which is a violation of federal law.
To use copyrighted music on a website, you must obtain permission from the owner of the copyright. This can be done by obtaining a license or permission directly from the copyright owner or through a performing rights organization (PRO) such as ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC. These organizations can grant licenses for the use of copyrighted music on websites and other platforms.
It is important to note that the use of copyrighted music without permission can result in legal action, including fines and damages. Therefore, it is recommended that you obtain permission before using any copyrighted music on your website.
