I've forwarded this question to my friend who works as a copyright examiner at the Library of Congress. I'll post his reply to the list, provided he has time to reply and gives me his permission.

Isabelle asked (speaking of recorded arias): <<Is it wrong (legally or morally) to put slices of each one up as a file on the vocalist-temporary egroups site? We're making such great use of the "files" system, but I'm not sure where "fair use" and educational purposes conflict with copyright. I imagine I couldn't send up all seven arias whole and uncut -- but to illustrate a certain phrase and differing types of ornamentation or attacks or squillo or whatever we're debating at the moment, a phrase? A verse? Or nothing?>>
