Using Poe, Shakespeare, Shaw and Mona Lisa in Video
Dear Rich: I am creating two to five minute video sequences of my art montages for iPod and iPhones and would like to use quotations at the beginning and end by Poe and Shakespeare and Shaw. (1) If all quotations come from some published source do I need to get permission from someone? (2) If I have used an image in my montage sequence that shows for say 10 seconds a painting in a museum, say the Mona Lisa from the Louvre and I altered a picture that I took of that image to look like a pop art Warhol do I need to get a license from the Louvre for the usage?
