@ Catherine:
Most of the time you will not be able to actually ask anyone. So if you're a teacher and are using it for educational purposes, you should be fine. I know a lot of cases where Disney will go after daycare centers that have any of their characters in it (Winnie the Pooh, Mickey, etc...) but if you show Fantasia in your class to talk about art, you are free to do so.
Don't let being scared stop you from using great copyrighted work! If it's educational and you're making money off of it, go for it!
-- And then I edited the last sentence to make sure it read "not making money" --

@ Tim:
The link doesn’t work for me…
But Facebook is doing similar things by allowing companies to reuse comments and likes that people post.
As far as Blender, how do they use people’s work? In what way? As templates in the software? Are they selling stuff to other companies? Are they just examples in the software?
The funny thing is, I bet a lot of the artists would love to give up their work if only they were asked…
