It doesn't.

It doesn't. I know this since I was working on a startup using 30 second clips from itunes and consulted with multiple music lawyers who told me it was a grey enough area that I would get sued. I've advised for other music startups and they face similar challenges with music (one just hit 1mm downloads and got hit from Apple -> RIAA about the content). Its incredibly frustrating when interesting applications like Shred pop up and the music folks make it difficult. Hopefully they can get some licenses and not have to sell their kidneys to do it. This talk from Dalton is dated but still pretty relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTOlrN5-UGU
