Take part of a song slow it down a bit and put it on a loop

Question

Lets say someone hypothetically took the beginning part of a song and slowed it down a bit and put it on a loop for 3 min..

In this scenario the original song was copyrighted.

Would this be copyright infringement if someone then put the new edited song in a game and used it there?

Answer 1

Would this be copyright infringement if someone then put the new edited song in a game and used it there?

It would almost certainly be infringing in this case. There is very little room for the fair use defense in the case of sound recordings.
