Is it legal to use music from some artist for a level? I bought it but can a share it with you?

Only with the permission of the artist.

Not without their permission. You can write to them and ask if they'll allow it, but if you paid for it in the first place they'll doubtless say no.

There's lots of free music out there though, just do an Internet search, or check out sites like jamendo.com and opsound.org

Or, if you have sound editing software, you could cut out a part of the song 30 seconds or less and use it. Well, that would be legal in the US, anyways. As long as it's 30 sec. or less.
