This 3rd edition was an excellent reference book on getting permission to use copyrighted content. Currently using the 6th edition and will update to the 8th edition shortly to keep up with the latest information.

Just reading the first twenty pages of this book already tells me that this is a book I will need on my shelf! I am taking a few short notes though and learning along the way. However, I am familiar with some things when I took a course over 10 yrs ago in masters program concerning copyrights and IP laws from a J.D./doctoral in library science professor. I hope to learn more along the way...period! No excuse for ignorance in the literary field, ever-growing and changing, but we need to be up on the business side not just researching for a writing project which is a plus too.
Keeps it simple! Great resource for musicians, writers, authors, and other entertainers who need to keep their IP material protected, get permissions, etc. Leisure read, 2014.

I really like this book. I have not read it from cover to cover yet but I have read many of the chapters that I personally need more information on. I found the book to be well written and I like the fact that they put real life examples into each section so that you can better understand the law. The book also has forms and document that may be helpful. I will keep this book close at hand and will refer to it whenever I need more information. If Nolo’s other books are as good as this one, I may have to start a little reference library!

I read this one for work. It's not a fascination book, but it's definitely thorough. I think I probably need to have this one on my shelf to return to when I need it.
