Yes, you do need permission to sell cast replixa's of a copyrighted material. If the work(s) is question is legitimately copyrighted (such as a literary, architectural, artistic, audio-visual or sound work) then it is protected under the law. Basically, copyright owners have certain basic rights, among them the right to reproduce (copy) the work and the right to distribute copies of the work to the public.
