Are copyright rules/ laws different between books and online publishing?

admin — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 22:51:43 +0000

I’m writing a book about an organisation and I think they won’t give me the permission I need to include quotes from their works in my book. If I encounter too many problems with them, should I simply publish the book online? Do I still need their permission to use their quotes if my book is only available on line?

Yes, it still applies, and, yes, you can still get in legitimate legal trouble for using their quotes without permission should they decide to press charges.

The Future of Publishing

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:44:16 +0000

At DK we have been doing a lot of thinking recently about the future and about how we are at the tipping point of how people will read and access information. It’s an exciting time and we have really enjoyed envisaging what our business may be like in 2020. From that thinking the marketing team created this short film with the help of Khaki, a video production company, that captured the way we are changing as a company and how we are really listening to the people who access our content.
We were inspired by a video created by an Argentinian agency, Savaglio/TBWA entitled Truth:
