03 November 2009

The Australian Copyright Council (ACC) has published a practical guide for anyone responsible for getting copyright clearances. It will prove useful for people whose main role is seeking permissions, as well as those working on or producing short films, plays, publications or similar projects.

The guide covers issues such as:

  • when you need to seek permission
  • the sorts of rights you¹ll need to clear (e.g. moral rights as well as copyright)
  • who to contact
  • streamlining the permissions process
  • dealing with common obstacles

The guide is $40 to purchase. For more information on the guide please visit the ACC website.
