Making a movie, wondering about music copy-rights?

Question by ????: Making a movie, wondering about music copy-rights?
Okay, so i am making a movie for this project thing and I want to have a song in the background or any sort of copy-righted music… where would I go to get the permission for that (I am willing to pay).
And also someone told me you can play 30 seconds of a copy-righted work without having to get permission if you give credit for it, is this true and if so can you send a link to somewhere online that would tell me that?

thanks… weblinks with any of this information is helpful, I have been googling for awhile and can’t find what I am looking for.

Answer by me
Dude you need to specify is this for school if so then you don’t need permission. But if your going to make a project for TV or something that involves a lot of people seeing it then yes you do need permission and yes that 30 second of the song is right. Sorry i don’t know where you can get permission.
