Hello,
I'm about to embark on making a short and I wanted to find out, if I use a copyrighted music cue and the short is only entered in festivals do I need to license it? What if the festival has possible prize winners does this change things? And lastly what about a band's TV shirt? Say a rolling stones Tongue and Lip logo? Do I need to get the rights to use that if the film is not making a profit? And what if it's in a contest that makes it eligible for prize money?
Thanks so much for your help.
