I have another question for my British friends, WAY more stupid than the previous question of the day.

Is it illegal for me to reproduce an image of the Royal Coat of Arms for my paper?

I can seen on the website that businesses have to apply to use it...but I'm a poor grad student, not a business. And I don't know these things. We don't have coats of arms in Amurrica. No, I don't actually believe that Scotland Yard would come banging on my door if I use a picture of the coat of arms (I need the lion and the unicorm, y'see, 'cause they're all over the film); I just want to know if it would be considered bad form.

::slinks away::: I just wrote out an extensive outline and it comes to about a thousand words. Not too shabby, I don't think I'll have too much trouble stretching that out into 5000 in the paper proper. And since my thoughts are all brought together, I don't think it'll take me very long either. I might pop one of the films in for another note-taking session and then go to bed for a few hours. But I'm not being an idiot this time!

I don't know about British law, but American law is basically that if you're not using it to turn a profit and you give credit, you can reproduce an image for scholarship or other purposes....

I'd be surprised if anyone cares, really - I think it would come under "fair use" anyway.
