i have to do a site for some athlete who they call superman, the dood is famous and stuff, but i dont know if i could use supermans logo on his site, he has it tatooed to his arm. pluss, for the music on his intro (yes, i gotta make an intro) i planned on using a piece of dj aphrodites supermans theme remix.
am i legal here? with the logo and the track? should i have to contact the dj and ask for rights or just give him credit? the same with warner bros? im anyways going to propose it like that, but im going to be clear that it cant be used unless they buy rights.
the guy is well known so its going to be seen
how should i go.

i can tweak superman i guess, but the track? or should i just get the original and remix it my self? then i have to get paid for that, lol.

lol, its not shack, he is not that famous, im going to give you a hint.
runs for nike
is champion now on what ever he ran.
the sport is olympic.and none of you have any idea who he is cause im sure you dont follow track and field.
and his current site totally sucks.

the track no doubt is copyrighted, what you could do and make it yours is take the MIDI track (.mid) file which you can no doubt find on Google.com from some goofball and then change the instrumentation with a soft synth like Reason 2.5 and interchange the MIDI tracks with your own choice of instruments. Like a supermix. lol

i know exactly who it is. my gf used to run track and field and loves that shite. i totally know the guy and the nickname is fitting. he isn't human.
and no, you can't use the stuff. you could tweak the logo A LOT but i'm not sure what you're going to do about the music. ask first.
