Product Description
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
Getting Permission includes agreements for acquiring authorization to use text, photographs, artwork and music. All agreements included as tear-outs and on CD-ROM.
The 3rd edition of this essential book is completely updated to reflect the latest laws and court decisions.

I have read the book and have founded it to be very useful. The author emphasizes that it is best to write your own work for publication. If you wish to use somebody else work, then it is best to get his permission. The author points out that it could be cheaper than you think. I would recommend this book for someone who wants to write seriously.
