The answer to this question is Yes. The Australian Copyright Council outlines that ' if you use copyright material for the purpose of research or study, you do no infringe copyright, provided use is 'fair'. (Australian Copyright Council, 2007)
What however constitutes research and fair use?
Referring to the Australian Copyright website (Australian Copyright Council, 2007), 'fair use' can be determined as follows:
1. When re-producing text or printed music from a hard copy edition of 10 or more pages, the Act deems that it fair to copy:
- 10% of the number of pages; or
- one chapter, if the work is divided into chapters.
2. For text material published in electronic form, it is deemed to be fair to copy;
- 10% of the number of words; or
- one chapter, if the work is divided into chapters.

Can students (university or school) use music in videos that they can make?
The answer to this question is yes. Again, 'fair use' is cited in the Australian Copyright Council's guidelines (Australian Copyright Council, 2007). Specific details of 'fair use' can be found at
