Getting Permission: Copyrighted Materials Online and Off » (BK&CD-ROM)

Whether you're creating a Web site, an anthology, or materials for a class, artists and educators of every stripe need to copyright.
No, this doesn't mean pulling an all-nighter at Copy Hut. If you plan to use any copyrighted material for your own purposes, you need to get permission first from the owners of that work. If you don't, you could find yourself slapped with a lawsuit.
Getting Permission tackles the permissions process head on. It shines the light on whom to ask for permission, as well as when-and how much-to expect to pay for permission. Comprehensive and easy to read, the book covers:
* the permissions process
* the public domain
* copyright research
* fair use
* academic permissions
* the elements of a license and merchandise agreement
* the use of a trademark or fictional character
* and much more
This cutting-edge book, the only one on the market to cover Web-site permissions and information, includes agreements for acquiring authorization to use text, photographs, artwork and music.
A must for the new millennium, Getting Permission will help you obtain rights, permissions and clearance — and stay out of legal hot water.
All agreements included as tear-outs and on disk.
