Comment on How to get permission to use song lyrics in your books by Steph

These comments are all very helpful. I am also having a lot of trouble finding the current copyright holder of two old songs. One copyright holder listed has a phone number that is no longer working. Same with their company name. Gone.
I will try to find someone at ASCAP I can write for help.

In reply to Roberta Stiger Taylor. If the publisher does not have a standard agreement that they use, and instead asks you for one, then you can research online to put one together if you don't want to consult an attorney. The legal fee for drafting it will vary widely based on where you live.

In reply to Laurie Kaye. The publisher may use the fair use argument for that (which I cover in detail in my new book), but I personally would not take the chance and wind up having to potentially litigate fair use in federal court. Fair use is a matter of interpretation, and there are no bright line rules.

In reply to Laurie Kaye. To my knowledge that is not the case and you would still need written permission from the copyright holder. Unless perhaps the publishing company has a special agreement with a music company or producer? I would be very careful about taking legal advice from people thirdhand.

I heard from an acquaintance who’s a well-known author that the legal department of his latest publishing company has told him that quoting under 4 lines of lyrics from a song in his book is legal and he doesn’t need copyright/permission…is this the case?
