Fair Use and Online Music

Online Music might very well be the biggest thing to happen to music in 20 years. People now discover their music online one way or another and now bands and record labels must cater to that form of music consumption and the better labels and bands that do that will be more successful.

I think fair use is great. Essentially it covers you for using some form of material when you want to use it but not take away from the original in such a way that someone would use your material and not buy the original. There is no financial harm done really, which is really what the original artists and companies care about.
