Jane Friedman says you can be pretty sure something written before 1923 is OK. You can also use lyrics of songs that are in the public domain. That means you can say “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” but you can’t say “Jumpin’ Jack Flash is a ', or you’re going to have to pay. What you CAN use without permission is a song’s title. So be careful you don’t make a typo and have your character step on the gas gas gas, or you might have Keith and Mick’s lawyers on your doorstep asking for their cash cash cash for using a line from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” That’s because songs can have very few lines to use-fairly or otherwise. Thing is: fair use doesn’t apply to songs. Note: I read later on the Passive Voice that there had simply been a misunderstanding and customers who bought the original book had been sent a nice 'never-mind' note.īut why would it be such a big deal if the original indie book contained a few song lyrics? Isn’t there some kind of rule that you can use a couple of lines from something without worrying about copyright? Using lyrics from a song written in the past century or so can be a very expensive proposition, so most publishers won’t accept a book that quotes lyrics.

That could definitely get a publisher's panties in a bunch. It sounded like some nasty author-bullying to me-until somebody on a writing forum said the first version might have used pop song lyrics without getting proper permission. It said her readers had been asked to delete their old versions of her book and get the new Big 5 version-at the author’s expense.

This week the bookosphere saw something of a teapot-storm when a formerly indie author-now signed with a Big 5 publisher-got an odd notice from Amazon.
