Needle drops illigal?

[beck]

The following is taken from Tonyl on pink fish media:

"I have to ask that all posts containing links to comparative vinyl needle-drops be removed from this site. Though only short clips / excepts etc made to indicate differences between turntables, cartridges etc, and never intended as a file sharing resource, they are still likely to be in breach of copyright legislation."

So sad if it is true. Can anyone confirm?

I'm pretty sure it's ok to copy a "reasonable" amount of someone else's work for educational purposes.

Tonyl is concerned about revenue on his ad supported site. If a Google bot detects a music download it automatically removes any Adsense adverts, along with the payments that go with them!

Shouldnt be a problem. The swedish copyright bureau doesnt care if its less than 30 secs...
