Copyright laws for books
« on: 11-22-04 at 02:11 pm »

I was wondering what the copyright laws are concerning Educational resources that use a Classic Book for its base.
Example: a Workbook written based on the book Stuart Little?
Thank You!

To the extent that you use images or passages from the book, you may be stepping on the author's copyrights.  To the extent that the source material is a series of books, you may be stepping on someone's trademark rights as well.
