[1:08:21][@croepha][Might be worth contacting the publisher. They might just give you some stuff, as it might be good PR for them]
[1:10:46][@croepha][Hmm, interesting. I think that if you are only using, like, 10% (or something like that) of the original work, then it's considered fair use. But I'm not a lawyer]
