If you have the permission of the poet for copyrighted material, then no. If the material is copyrighted and you have no permission to use it, you cannot legally use it.
If, however, the poem is public domain--the copyright limit has expired--then by all means, use it. Keep in mind that using someone else's words effectively is not always the easiest thing to do. It can be like trying to make Mopar parts fit on a Chevy.
You can use up to 30 seconds of a song without obtaining permission. For a story or article, fair use guidelines suggest using up to 10% or 1000 words, whichever is less. When using a poem, using less than 250 words or the entirety of a poem if it is less than 250 words is generally considered acceptable without permission.
Yes
A song is sort of like a poem that comes from the heart and has to be practised.It also has a catchy beat and rythm...song is a music that people loves to sing
The song put euphony to the listeners. This means the song was a pleasure to hear.
Well, if you wrote a poem then you could use it as a song or if you wrote a song you could use it as a poem but if you sung a song that you orignally wrote as a poem and never mentioned it was a poem then people could mistake it for just a song. If you read a poem which was orignally a song I suppose depending on the words it could work.
it all depends upon how the song was obtained and where its bein uploaded. If MP3 was obtained illegally, it's still illegal. If it was obtained legally through iTunes or some other legal file-sharer, you can use for your own purpose however you cannot share with anyone over the net because that is illegal file-sharing.
simply because Steve Harris read the poem and it inspired him to write the song.
To bring a poem alive in English you need to use words that provide a mental picture of the poem. The reader needs to feel as if they are part of the poem.
when reading the poem it sounds like there is a speaker speaking the poem
Shakespeare is so old it has long entered public domain. Go ahead and use them.
don't quote me on this but in a movie i think it's around 15seconds
