Best Answer

You can legally copy protected works when you are the copyright owner, or you have permission from the copyright holder or an exemption in the law. The most commonly cited exception is fair use or fair dealing, which is intended to allow certain limited uses in cases such as education and critique; fair use is exceptionally (and intentionally) vague, and should be relied on sparingly.

Can you add un copyrighted music to you site?

If you know for certain that the music is not copyrighted, you can add it to your site. Do not automatically assume that it is okay to add original music that is found on another site to your site, though. It's best to contact the site owner to ask permission to use their original work, even if you do not think the music is copyrighted.
