Hello!
All the posts I have read have opened my mind to notions that I can barely understand. Not only do I see that it is confusing for many within the law business, but for me, it is still very confusing and disheartening since some of my ideas have just fallen from very high.
Although not all of you who have commented on this article are experts in the legal aspect of this matter, everyone seems to know much more than me.
Please, if you could explain to me how I can apply it directly to avoid problems I will appreciate it very much! Would you!
My son writes songs in the genre of hip hop but he is not a professional musician. However, my favorite song opens with this phrase precisely; "let's get ready to rumble"(which set the tempo of the song), and I was about to upload it on YouTube. I already understand that I can not use it, copying or using that phrase!
Now, which would be the prohibited variations?
Could I use a modification instead?
...about changing some words?
... how about something with the same meaning but with totally DIFFERENT words?
(or a different language?)
Thank you all!
