Hey guys, I just had a quick question.

Quote “Try to keep your intros original. Also, make sure you are not breaking copyrights on any content such as text, images, etc. that you use.”

As far as music goes, I think I found the right song I want to use. Is this contest considered “for commercial use”? I’ve read through some of Sony’s terms & conditions, but need some elaboration on this contest. Any ideas?

I don’t think this contest is considered for commercial use, but to be safe, I think it would be best for you to not use someone else’s copyrighted work without first getting their permission 🙂
