It is true but the time allowed is not two minutes, it should be less than 15 seconds or 3 bars (something like that) I couldn't find the correct time, but when some one sues the recording company, the judge verifies teh track for nearly 20 seconds. If you still want to use a commercial song, read this before you proceed........

Recording Modus Operandi
When using another's work commercially, you always need permission from the owner. For non-commercial use there are exceptions to the copyright infringement rules which allow one to reproduce another's work without obtaining a license or assignment of rights.
1. Fair Use. This is a doctrine which permits the reproduction of copyrighted material for a limited purpose of teaching, reviewing, literary criticism and the like. Without the "fair use" doctrine books and movies could not be reviewed and colleges and high schools would not be able to study works by people like Arthur Miller. "Fair use", however is determined on a case by case basis.
2. Public Domain. This refers to works which are no longer covered by copyright law. For example, the song Star Spangled Banner can be performed without ever paying license fees to anyone.
