Question:

Are you allowed to use songs, like songs from the media, and put it in a novel or story?

Example: Can i put like... Big Girls don't Cry by Fergie in my novel/story? The lyrics i mean.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Actually, if its copywrited you need permission. Many writers dodge this issue by alluding to the song or group without directly quoting or naming them. The Writer's Handbook is available in most bookstores and can answer most questions in this regard.
