  1. If the instrumental is copyrighted or licensed (most probably) any use of it on a my space page would be a "public performance" and would constitute license infringement and would therefore be illegal without express written permission of the song's publisher.


  2. Is this instrumental copyrighted?  If so, what you would be doing is illegal!

  3. It may depend upon whether your original "download" was a licensed copy and whether the terms of that license permit you to make derivative works, further copies, or to perform or publish the copyrighted works.

    On the other hand, if you simply obtained the sheet music and made your own performance (with original or new lyrics), you could obtain a "mechanical" license to make as many copies as you want, for around ten cents a copy.

  4. Yep as long as you say the insturmental is from put on
