How do you get a Disney copyright permission to quote 2 lines from a film?
To request copyright permission for a Disney property, write to the Permissions Department at the Disney organization. However, there is a 'fair use' doctrine in copyright that permits a limited amount of use without permission. While it is not precisely defined, this is the provision that allows a writer to quote a few lines from a book or movie in a review without seeking permission. Two lines from a film may well be 'fair use' and quoting such a small part of the work would not then require permission of the copyright holder.

Do free music sites violate Music Copyright Law?
This is a very contentious issue and depends on the country the music is stored in, the country it is being downloaded in, the relationship the site has with the copyright owners and whether or not a copyright even exists on the music. In many countries it is illegal to host and download copyrighted music to/from the internet without permission from the copyright owner. With permission, a site may be allowed to do so. Napster's original incarnation was shut down for making music downloadable for free without permission from the copyright owners. One way around copyright laws is by downloading music that has been released into the public domain under licenses such as the Creative Commons attribution-non commercial share-alike license which allows the music to be freely copied and manipulated so long as the original author is credited and that it is distributed under the same license.
