Getting Permission: Using & Licensing Copyright-Protected Materials Online & Off -- Richard Stim, Paperback

If you're using copyrighted material, don't get sued--get permission!

Before you use a song, photo, book, or any other copyrighted work, you may need to get permission to avoid being sued for infringement.

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
  • the "fair use" rule
  • merchandise agreements
  • and much more.

The 9th edition is updated with summaries of recent copyright and fair use cases, and includes real-life questions from the Dear Rich intellectual property blog.
