Music and Disclaimers

Currently, I am having trouble finding a suitable piece of music for my film opening that does not have a copyright on it. Fortunately, I've discovered a disclaimer for 'fair use' that allows people to use copyrighted pieces of music for educational purposes:

"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favour of fair use."
