Re: [exs] using other people's quotes for lyrics [OT]

2002-08-20 by Micke Nilsson

For what it's worth, I'd ALWAYS try and get as close to the source as 
possible and ask permission...saves you a lot of potential hassles down the 
road...when the billboard(not the mag)ad lawyers come after you to get 
someone a piece of your monsterhit...not worth the tylenol bills...Good 
luck,mn
