    It's a university, dadgummit...isn't thare a music school thair? can't they generate they're own content? Why use someone else's copyrighted content? and thaer's lots and lots of artists out their who want theighr own stuff to get exposure. Thaiy'd probly be willing to reduce or waive their royalties to do so.
