: Hi,

: I want to produce a CD of songs (for sale) inspired by a recent novel. I would like to use names of characters and specific thematic elements as song titles. Do I need permission from the author/publisher of the book?

: Thanks in advance,

: Dan
Dear Dan,
Without taking professional responsibility, it does not seem like a problem. For security, you should have a legal consult and also check the Gone With The Wind cases.
