Customers looking for that song would not simply go to your website and watch your animation which would be inconvenient ; they would still buy the original CD or download the original music. The most decisive factor, however, might be how much of the song you actually use.
Will you allow the entire song to play in the background of your animation? Or merely a ten-second refrain? Unfortunately, there are no fixed standards as to how much of a song you can use without infringing the song owner's copyright.
Of course, the shorter you can make the clip, the stronger your argument for fair use protection. Using the song without permission is risky, but it is relatively unlikely that the owners would immediately sue you. More likely, their lawyers would send you a letter or email requesting that you stop using the material.
This is often referred to a cease-and-desist letter. If you obey and take the music down, the issue is usually over. Of course, there is also the possibility that the song owners will never learn of your infringement. Most infringements are discovered when website traffic increases, the infringement begins earning money, or the infringement is diverting music sales.
As you can see, your intended use becomes somewhat riskier if you will sell your animation containing the sampled music. If you will profit from the sale of another person's copyrighted work, there is a far greater likelihood that the copyright holder may decide to sue —particularly if you engage in large-scale sales over the Internet. In this situation, consider getting samples clearances from the original copyright holders to prevent disputes down the road.
