Film Copyright

Newbie here getting started with small gauge film making. Looking for a good
source regarding copyright information such as:

* Who owns the copyright to old home movies bought off eBay or at the local
swap meet?
* Is it infringement to use "found film" clips in my films?
* Is it permissible (legal) to use copyrighted music in experimental films
without permission?

Would be grateful if anyone can point to any sources about these types of
questions. I spent some time in the archives before posting, but didn't get
specific hits on these types of issues.

Many thanks in advance if you can help.
