Sell Your Songs

Updated***Can I sell a cd with different artists songs(not their full songs) on it in a mix?

I just posted this but I added something at the bottom

I took a bunch of popular songs and turned them into 1 song, for an example: i took 1 minute from 10 different songs to make a 10 minute song. Can I legally sell a CD to make profit with these mixes on it. (if its not would it be legal if i credited the artist)

I would not be claiming it as my work the purpose of the songs being on this cd is to make a drinking game. there will be 1 track that is 60 min long compiled from 1 min of 60 different songs. I am assuming that this is probably illegal but does anyone know for sure?

   No.

   The other artists hold the copyright, which means only they have the right to make and use copies. Since you do not have the copyright, you do not have the right to make copies.

   See? The word actually means something.

   You cannot sell (as you stated in your question) anything that you do not own the rights to. Even copying them could be a copyright infringement.
