Can I use copyrighted music on my website in Louisiana? What are the requirements?
Based on the context documents, it is important to note that the use of copyrighted music on a website in Louisiana may be subject to certain restrictions. LARS § 51.3241 prohibits knowingly advertising or conducting a live musical performance or production in Louisiana through the use of a false, deceptive, or misleading affiliation, connection, or association between the performing group and a recording group [2.1]. However, it is unclear whether this provision applies to the use of copyrighted music on a website.
Additionally, the Louisiana Delta Music Museum is governed by the Louisiana State Arts Council and the Louisiana Division of the Arts, which administer state arts programs [3.1]. The Louisiana State Arts Council has adopted a policy statement that emphasizes the importance of supporting established arts organizations, nurturing emerging organizations, and assisting individual artists [3.1]. The Division of the Arts administers state and federal funds appropriated for arts grants in Louisiana [3.1]. However, it is unclear whether these programs have any specific requirements or restrictions related to the use of copyrighted music on a website.
Therefore, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or contact the Louisiana State Arts Council or the Louisiana Division of the Arts for further guidance on the use of copyrighted music on a website in Louisiana.
