Not exactly. What I am saying is that based on the very meager information that the original poster gave us ("I need them for a piece I am doing"), (1) it is impossible for anyone reading this thread to know whether that poster's use would be a copyright/trademark infringement, (2) it is impossible for anyone reading this thread to know whether that poster's use would not be a copyright/trademark infringement, and (3) the original poster needs to be aware of the potential of copyright/trademark issues.

I would hire IvySpice as my lawyer as long as she works at least 100 hours a week.

Well, since this area of the law is very specialized -- and I readily admit it is not my speciality -- I wouldn't hire anyone who doesn't specialize in it. That said, I've read enough of IvySpice's posts to know that I'd be very glad to have her as my lawyer in almost any situtation, and I would not want her to be the lawyer on other side.
