So here is another snippet that''s not good for a chorus but better for a strange verse maybe.
I never liked this particular movie but was tricked into the theater, so now I finally find some use for it.
I use something else as an example but the final product would be the same legally.Goodfellas wrote: "Ever since I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster. To me that was better than being president of the United States. To be a gangster was to own the world."
Henry Hill/Ray Liotta in Goodfellas (1990)
It's like birthday presents and christmas gifts, you can't see until THE DAY!!!
Let's say it' was the above example, let's say I use it in a song and let's say it get spread nationwide via TAXI as a song behind some product propaganda.
Now if somebody take issues with this, does it mean I'm guilty of something?
Just to get that out of the question, it's the text as lyrics sung in a song I'm interested in, not a sound sample.
[edit]
also extracting the lines from one person, is that disrespectful?
same for choping off short words like "yes" and "no" that makes no sense out of context when the lines have been butchered.

Is this a good "General Hangout" question?
It's ABOUT lyrics but it's not lyrics so ...
Where are the copyright questions?
