I have a tv series idea, but it's not an original, and I need to get the rights from the author who written the books, but I do not know how to do that when he has social media accounts but no other form of communication on his web page, like emails or even a phone call. Nothing, so how do I get the rights to the book if he doesn't have any communications.
Hello ****,
You can approach this by:
- Sending a direct message via his social media accounts expressing your interest.
- Contacting his publisher, they can forward your request.
- Hiring an attorney specializing in intellectual property to guide you.
Remember, without permission, using his work could infringe copyright laws.
Thank you, I am trying to be mindful of that, even though it's tempting. thank you.
