Getting permission : how to license & clear copyrighted materials online & off

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. The 3rd edition of this essential book is completely updated to reflect the latest laws and court decisions. It also provides new information and resources on digital licensing and a new section on video licensing.
