How to get allowance to use commercial music for non-commercial projects?

Is there a way to "get permission" to use commercial music in non-commercial movies? Or are the rules the same as for commercial movies?

Thanks,

Fredrik
 
The right to copy is the same no matter what your
specific purpose. You need permission to use the
copyrighted work of others. The way to "get permission"
to use commercial music in non-commercial movie
is to ask for permission from the copyright holder.
 
If you ask the copyright holder and explain your project then they may grant you a special license for their music. Thats how my company operates, we just ask that credit is given for both the company and the composer, Also you have to pay about $1 to download a Wav file of the track.
