Is a parody the only way to use pop-culture references? Does a parody have to be funny?
At what point do you reach the point where you've made it your own?

movies. if you're not going to parody them but are actually using a clip (with appropriate licensing) as an illustration, can you use movie poster art in your series graphic? Creating something separate or inspired by the movie doesn't seem to make sense when you are actually watching part of it.

@SeanP
I talked to the lawyers, the answer to your question is no.

can you use someone elses logos and branding on a promotional piece for a church event that's going to use their product, play their game, or watch their show, or watch their team play?

If your church pays CCLI for music rights to play in service, can you use the original recorded song in a media piece?
As a designer working for a church, do I own the rights to my designs or does the church? Does this change if I am incorporated and hired as a contractor?

Can I post video or mp3 of our services even when we sing songs that are copywritten? If not, who do we need permission from?

If permission is needed, what's the best way to get it?

What about testimonies and audio/video clips in the middle of a sermon. Do we need written permission from all "non ministers" to post the video/audio online?
Also, what about multi-site rules about licensing on background images, stock photography, banners, and other print and digital media (displayed for 1 church at 1 time, at 2 locations)?

Is it OK to steal Sean's designs if I'm in a really really tight spot, and he has the perfect solution on his flickr?
What if it will make me look really really cool cuz everyone will believe I'm talented?

Yes, as an organization, we support everyone stealing Sean's designs. We're actually working on a Church Marketing Sucks redesign using only actual copies of his work from his photo stream. Lawyers who have seen Sean's work also agree that everyone must copy it, and any contractual or full-time church communication worker who does not can be terminated or prosecuted for failure to provide service of the quality assumed in their contract. When you were hired, work of Sean's caliber was expected of you, and if it is not Sean's work, it is not his caliber.

Haha! Here's a question that was posed to me from our IT guy:
Is a designer personally liable for complying when the organization demands use of copyrighted material?
He stated it that in the IT world, if someone illegally installs software using one of his access codes (even when it's documented that he didn't approve) he is still personally liable and can be sued. Would that apply to designers who are required to use copyrighted works, even after battling with the pastor about it?

Can I play tracks from a music CD I just bought at Sam Goody before/after the worship service without a license (e.g., BMI)?

If I need/have a license to play a copyrighted piece of music (also bought at Sam Goody) to an audience during a worship service, can I play it while a video montage is also being shown without it being considered a "sync"?

What resources exist for securing licenses for playing of copyrighted music to small groups (<200), syncing to video, or other such uses? Do I literally have to track down the original author in his/her hideaway hut in aboriginal Australia to get his/her sign-off?

One final one to consider: At what point don't I need a license to play copyrighted music:
1) During a worship service with 100 people.
2) During a community carwash with 50 people.
3) On the church bus on the way to a homeless shelter with 15 people.
4) Before a Sunday School class with 5 people.
5) During a counseling session with 2 people.
6) In the shower. By myself.
The answer, of course, is probably not related to the numbers...
