There are two primary options for obtaining copyright permission once the need is identified. You may either contact the copyright holder directly or use a licensing agent such as Copyright Clearance Center.
The permission letter should include: Date of request. Name of the author, web author, publisher or editor. Title and editions of material to be reproduced; include this for webpages. Exact material to be used, giving amount, page numbers, chapters.
Generally, if you want to copy or share someone elses work, you are likely to need permission (or a licence) from the copyright owner, unless: the copyright has expired. an exception or statutory licence (e.g. for educational or government use) applies.
If you use a copyrighted work without authorization, the owner may be entitled to bring an infringement action against you. There are circumstances under the fair use doctrine where a quote or a sample may be used without permission.
One way to make sure your intended use of a copyrighted work is lawful is to obtain permission or a license from the copyright owner. Contact a copyright owner or author as far as pos- sible in advance of when you want to use the material specified in your permissions request.
