Cover Versions/using film scrip - Do you need permission

Post by wildcon » Sat Mar 02, 2013 3:59 pm

Hi There,

If you are doing a cover version of a song or using part of a film script or poem, but are not selling it, do you need the authors permission to use it.

I'm thinking of using some film or book script but reciting it myself and posting on Soundcloud. However, I'm worried about copyright!

Any help really appreciated.

Many Thanks :)
