powerpoint 2010
I have a user at work who is trying to include a song into a powerpoint. I don't think she actually owns the song. So if she doesn't own the song, ( like buying it through itunes ) is it possible to have a link to the song through youtube?
however, even if that is possible, is there copyright/piracy problems with doing that?
if it's ok to link to a song on youtube, is there some quick instructions to do this?

"maybe I mis-understood you, is she uploading the power point to youtube?"
no, it would have been a link in her powerpoint to a song on youtube.
they ended up buying the song on Amazon, then it played embedded in the powerpoint.
"This might even be the case if you purchased on iTunes"
I'm confused by the whole copyright thing, but I wonder if it would be that if I were trying to make money off the song by playing it, then it would be a violation? Which, I could understand that, but this is just a work powerpoint, I think it is just to thank an employee, or something like that. So, there definitely wouldn't be any money made off this.
Makes me wonder though, what about people like DJ's? Let's say they purchased all of their music they play at a party, but they are getting paid to play the music. On the one hand, I could see how the musician would like the publicity, their songs would get more exposure. However, the DJ would be making money off someone else's songs?

thank you for the help.
Copyright is a minefield and has very little to do with whether you purchased the CD / mp3.
To demonstate with an extreme situation.
You BUY a Beachboys CD and use it as the soundtrack of major file starring Angilina Jolie.
You are gonna get sued.
Somwhere in less extreme situations there is probably a line (technically I don't think there is) but I don't know where it is and I doubt you do.

Before there was internet /and TV the world wide consortium access wasn't so much a problem, the only way to get a music track or hear it was buy it or record it on the VCR or listen to radio
anything used in the public domain was through a broadcast license or TV etc but since the last 10 years of internet this idea that everything was free to download changed the copyright laws.
The information technology on the WWW is instant now

Copyright Infringement Policy
Copyright Law, the Illegal Use of File Sharing Programs, University Policies and Procedures for Handling Violations
Why is this an important issue right now?
Copyright is an issue of particular seriousness because technology makes it easy to copy and transmit protected works over our networks.

So lets say you give everyone in your office a copy of this power point slide and they like the music they could copy it and take it home.
Not everyone is trying to break the law or make money but always there are those who do bad things among the good who don't.
So laws are now one shoe fits all.
It's a double edge sword the greedy get greedier.
Bottom line the cause is there is simply too many human beings in this world relying on the system and our system is based on money.
Everyone has a fair right to their own property and what is done with it on the internet.
Just like our homes are in a public street but we own the stuff inside.
Cheers
