>> Lets say a group releases a song. << Then the group (or their record company) owns the copyright. You do not. You can't make copies. >> [their] song is used with other dubbings of news to make an emotionaly intense song, and they have permission to do this from the group. << Then the second group owns the copyright to the second song. You do not. You can't make copies. >> Then they play it on the radio (also with permission) << Then the radio station has licensed it for broadcast from the copyright owner. (The radio station cannot, and is not, making copies) >> and someone records it using their computer, and makes an MP3 out of it. << "Someone" is working without permission of the copyright owner, and is breaking the law. >> Is that MP3 legal to distribute? << No.
