Hi again!  Sorry for all the questions, but this one has been bugging me for some time, and I'm sure it may be helpful to others...

Hypothetically, if I were to do a scene that included a TV set and, to add to the realism of the scene, I used an image from a recognizable TV show, making no claim to it, would that be a violation of copyright since it is readily recognizable as what it is and I make no claim to ownership or development?

If any one with knowledge of this can give me an answer, I would appreciate it very much.  Also, I am asking in the spirit of artistic learning and in no way intend to hold any one liable for giving friendly advice.

Thanks!

Kevin

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'
