odd.. i asked this question about 2 months ago.. and everyone agreed.. it's ok to do for personal portfolios..
as long as you aren't making money off of the spot itself.. and it's to get a JOB.. not to sell that piece.. then you are fine..
if you were making a demo reel.. and then trying to sell it.. that'd be a different story.. don't worry about the law crap when it comes to this..
the most you'll ever get is gonna be a "please remove your demo reel" letter from some attourney.. as it's not worth it for them to persue someone's personal portfolio for copyright infringement..also.. credit your music at the beginning or end (or if in WMV format.. use the author tag.. etc.. )
rules like this should only apply to people who stand to make a dollar on it.. as far as copyright infringement..
if i'm playing some cool tunes outta my ghettoblaster, and someone says "oh he's cool.. we'll give this job to him" then it's actually similar to what they are trying to pressure you into not doing..
getting somewhere in life by using the music you listen to..
whatever.. do what you want.. no one will really worry about it.. unless it gets like critically acclaimed recognition or something../////del
