This means that playing the song at graduation probably won’t have an effect on the sales of the song. It’s not being broadcast and then distributed to the world and the attendees at the ceremony will only hear the song once. Part of the reason fair use works here is because the only people who will see the video will be family and friends at the graduation ceremony. You probably shouldn’t post the graduation video online. Whatever you end up doing, ANYTHING is better than looping the lameness that is Pomp and Circumstance.Ĭan we post the video online or distribute it to people? A better idea may be to use a mash-up of songs or only use part of the song. If the school just plays the entire song over a video, it might be harder to claim fair use. It depends on how much of the song is used. So…we can always use popular songs for graduation videos then, right? Even if for some reason you had to pay to graduate to rent a robe and a hat (like you will in college…not that I’m bitter or anything), as long as the money is used for educational purposes it isn’t usually a problem. But, no matter how significant it is for your school, it is not a commercial event because people don’t usually pay any money to attend graduation. Nope! Graduation is probably the most significant, largest attended event that happens in high school. Is a graduation ceremony considered a commercial event? It’s the biggest event of the year!
