How Do I Obtain Permission to Reproduce Non-Textual Works?
A multimedia presentation will often incorporate non-textual materials, such as music, videos, graphics and art work. The owners of such works may be represented by one or more protection agencies that will be able to grant you permission to reproduce the works for a fee. A number of these agencies are discussed in an article posted on the University of Texas web site at: http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/permissn.htm The site provides information about the CCC and other international clearance associations, as well as image archives and agencies in the fields of music, theater and motion pictures. All of this demonstrates the daunting nature of the task of obtaining permission for multimedia presentations.
