Are copyright laws different for books vs film/TV?

905 views

When shooting something you need to get the rights to other properties you might use in your media but in books there seems to be some more flexibility. Are there different laws or are the rules easier to bend?

My father in law used one line of a song in a book.

Dionne Warwick’s lawyers chased his publishers until they paid for the rights to use the song.

Copyright doesn’t differ based on the medium. If you don’t have the right to it, you can’t copy it.
