I have heard slightly differently. A friend in the music industry told me that
that extracts of music less than FOUR seconds can be copied and included in 
other musical 'works'. This seems to be borne out by my informal tests on 
'scratching' records and confirm this. I assume the same would apply to copies of 
sounds for other purposes. I would also assume that the law is similar in the US.
