    You are creating a multimedia presentation for school and you want to only use 30 seconds of a song.  That is covered under Fair Use correct?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The use of 30 seconds of a song in a multimedia presentation for school can be considered fair use.
