Since this list is quite a hotspot for deep copyright knowledge, I thought I'd ask a (hopefully quick) question here: Does anyone know if it's legal to use other people's quotes as lyrics in a song? E.g. all vocoded up but still intelligible. Do you have to attribute the quote to the person in the song, or could you just give them credit in the liner notes? Would you have to get their permission, or the permission of the publisher of their book, to use the quote? I happen to live in the USA if it matters. Thanks! Jeremy http://www.ixks.com/~sadus
