If you’re using copyrighted material, don’t get sued–get permission!
Online or off, before you use some or all of a song, photo, book, or any other work covered by copyright law, you might need to get permission. If you don’t, you could end up facing legal action from the rights-holder.
This easy-to-use book shows you how to get the rights you need, with step-by-step instructions and more than 30 forms. Find out when permission is required, who to ask, and when (and how much) you can expect to pay. Getting Permission explains:
- the copyright permission process
- the public domain (“free” content)
- how to figure out who owns a copyright
- website permissions
- music permissions
- fair use
- school-related permissions
- license and merchandise agreements (including sample contracts and other forms)
- and much more.
The 9th edition is updated with summaries of recent copyright and fair use cases, as well as dozens of real-life questions from the Dear Rich permissions blog.
