I'm working on a screensaver and was interested in using an Aphex Twin song as background music. My screensavers are all free - I make no money in any way from them. Is that legal?

yep...
any kind of distribution of another artists copywrited material is pretty much a no go.on the other hand, it's a big world..what are the chances they'll ever notice you :)
seriously tho...i'd advise against it...just to be on the safe side...
you can always write and ask them...a lot of artists (as long as they're not getting ripped off finanically) are pretty cool about letting folks use their work in interesting ways

No. Not legal. Not worth it either. Are you distributing these free screensavers? If it happens into the hands of an industry person connected with their label they won't care whether you have money or not as they sue you.

OK. Thanks. I'll just use my own music.
