<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 278201, member: 55&quot;]I like the idea of getting permission from the heirs; especially since it would be very unlikely that publication would bring in a lot of money; they might just be happy to see them published, or might sell you the rights, or a limited version of the rights, for a nominal sum.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; (I once negotiated with Utah Phillips the right to record one of his songs; he said &quot;Just send me something you think I might like;&quot; I sent him a pack of vintage Tarot cards with amusing and pithy sayings on them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Seemed to me that he was a fan of pithy sayings, and might like that.&nbsp;&nbsp; He was very pleased, bless his heart.</p><p>In that case, he was not selling me the actual copyright, but a limited use of the copyright, i.e. the right to record and publish up to 500 copies of his song on CD.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Another similar example: I have done a standard agreement with the Alaska State Museum to publish a photo from their archives on the internet; the contract specified that use was limited to publication on a particular non-profit website.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
