A: Generally speaking, you cannot use someone else's intellectual property without their consent. There are very few exceptions to that basic rule, such as parody or fair use in copyright. You should seek the advice of an attorney before doing anything that could be construed as copyright violation, because copyright (unlike trademarks and patents) has potential criminal penalties associated with unauthorized duplication.

Good luck!
