Thread: Will there be copyright issues if you you create and sell an educational

video based on a common product? We need to create an educational video/DVD based on specific Dell products and software. We've never done this before and want to avoid any copyright infringements or lawsuits. How do authors of software books and other media go about that? Can you film something educational on anything (for profit) without paying for a license on that product?

you bet there's a copyright issue. other authors get written permission to use their name, based on the specifics of what you've written. don't think you can publish without that permission or you'll be sued.

Thanks for sharing these info with us!
I will keep in touch with your blogreading..

To know everything about copyright laws, contact Dandridge Law. I got all the necessary support and help from these guys at affordable costs.

Copyright protects "original works of authorship" including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. Copyright protection exists from the moment a work is created in a fixed form. The copyright in the work immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright.
You, as copyright owner, own exclusive rights in your copyrighted work: to copy or allow someone else to copy the work; to distribute copies of the work; to create derivative works based on the original (examples of derivative works include translating the work into another language, writing a screenplay based on a novel); to display or perform the work publicly. As copyright owner, you may sell or license all or some of these exclusive rights to someone else. But any transfer of an interest in a copyright must be in writing.
Similarly, if you use all or a portion of another person's copyrighted work without permission, you may be infringing on that owner's rights. If you want to use portions of a work created by another person, you should own the rights or you should obtain written permission. For example, if you write a screenplay based on someone else's novel, you should first have written permission from the copyright owner of the original novel.

You have to ask first a permission for that and make an agreement between individuals. If you sell it without their consent there will be a copyright issues that you will face.

Check with the content provider what are their terms and conditions. Also, check with your local legal expert and take proper advice before going ahead with your plans.

Why you dont write an email and ask them for the permission?
