I’m writing my second (German) novel at the moment. For that it is essential that (as a great Led Zeppelin fan) I may quote a few lines from “Stairway to heaven”.
My detective will remember the first two lines and later come across a sheet of paper with lines 3 and 4. Will I need a licence for just quoting these four lines? May I use the quotation free of charge?
Best and thanks in advance
