I know I heard some director complaining that they had to blur the inside of the video store - as to not show the tapes/posters for possible copyright infringment.

I also heard a story from the last internext from a photogrpaher giving a presentation saying that he (or one f his buddies - can't remember) had done a shoot in the hard rock cafe hotel and was told that if so much as one matchbook was on the tape (with the hard rock cafe logo) - he would be sued.

I think your chances of getting in trouble are pretty small, and I think it would fall under far use - as long as her nipple wasn't like holding the "o" in "SONY" up.

They almost certainly wouldn't do anything with out asking you to change it first - and would probably not find out anyway.

Anyway - I don't know what the law is for sure, but I doubt you are going to get in any trouble. Worse case is you'd get a letter from their lawyer asking you to stop.

Just so you know - sony is more litigious than most (remember sony's restaurant that was a woman's name! - not anymore) - same with paramount and dr. seuss.
