re #23 sorry that should have read " you cannot act like the master right does not need to be addressed"... sorry for the double negative (I'm not able to delete or edit the entry).
Additionally, I would not feel comfortable advising going the fair use route.
I would not rely on the performance license at all. Additionally, what is a performance license but another right granted by the copyright holder, a parallel revenue stream payable to the same copyright holders for a synchronization license. Also, this is a composition and master recording situation, so if there is a performance license in play then you cannot act like the master right needs to be addressed. I would not advise user to go that route at all.
