Re: copyright permission for song lyrics[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Copyright Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M. Arthur Auslander on June 21, 2000 at 05:13:48: In Reply to: copyright permission for song lyrics posted by Carey Prendergast on June 20, 2000 at 16:51:31: : I am manufacturing a gift card in which on the front cover I wanted to use an excerpt from a song. For instance, "How Sweet it is to be Loved By You" by James Taylor. These cards will be sold in gift shops. Do I need copyright permission for this. Will it cost me anything? Where do I go to get permission if I need it. I tried BMI, and ASCAP, but I keep getting different answers, BMI says I don't need permission if it's part of the title, and ASCAP can't help me if it's just for publishing purposes. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I don't want to be miss-informed, and then have it cost me time & money down the road. I like the early approach to what could be a costly problem. Try the Harry Fox agency. They may be the ones. It looks as if BMI gave you a straignt answer but each situation may have different facts and law. M. Arthur Auslander
