How can I get permission to use a copyrighted work?

In order to get permission to use a copyrighted work, you need to seek the permission of the copyright holder. The copyright holder is usually the creator of the work, or an entity that has acquired the rights from the creator. The easiest way to get permission is to start by contacting the copyright holder directly. You can look up the contact information for the holder by searching online or by checking the copyright statement in the work. Once you contact them, you can discuss the terms and conditions for using their work. If you can’t find the copyright holder, you may need to seek permission through a licensing agency. A licensing agency can help you acquire the rights to use the work from the holder, and can also assist with the paperwork. For works which are not explicitly listed as copyrighted, you may be able to use the work as long as you give the creator due credit and do not use the work to make a profit. In Nebraska, this is known as fair use. However, in some cases, fair use may still not be applicable, and you might still need to gain permission from the copyright holder.
