INDEXUsing lyrics in a short film
7 years, 6 months ago - Alex Swinfen
Hi all,
I have a short script I am aiming to make whereby a character communicates and references the odd famous lyric for comedic effect. The nature of the gag means they have to be recognisable so they are mainly pop songs of the last 15 years.
Is this fair use?
Thanks all
