GUEST,Wordless Woman Help: Quoting a copyrighted song - OK to do? (12) Help: Quoting a copyrighted song - OK to do? 09 Oct 02


Would it be bad form – or even illegal – for me to quote a few lines from a copyrighted song in a newspaper article? I would credit the songwriter, song, and CD. I haven't the songwriter's (Ashley Hutchings) permission nor do I have a web address with which to contact him.
