This is not legal advice.

Do you have pockets?

Are you messing with someone’s ability to make 

money?

Is there enough info that someone could 

find the original source?

Is it cheaper to just get permission from 

the source?

Is it fair use? Teaching? 

Not‐for‐profit venue?

Yeah, it’s complicated.
