One thing I'm surprised to see is that noone mentioned how ILLEGAL it is to use copyrighted music in something. If you're doing this for home viewing or just messing around, that's one thing. But when you do it for public viewing or to make money off of it (by getting a job) THAT'S COMPLETELY WRONG! You could get sued! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING????
Have you paid the songwriter or the artist for the use of that song? If the answer is no, then you STOLE it! No different than using it in a commercial without permission or illeagally downloading it from the internet.
Do you really want people who steal music for a demo to work for you? I'd be biting my nails all the time. Something to contemplate before sending out your next reel.
If you really want to use music in your demo, buy a piece from a royalty free library, you can buy one CD if you want. You can even pay for one song (real cheap) at places like

Think people, THINK!
