Screenwriting
Permission rights
I have just put the words "the end" to a new screenplay. Some time ago I found a web site in which are some information and thoughts (around 250-300 words) that could be very useful to let my screenplay growing up. The information are contained in the ?FAQ' of the site. I have made a second version of my screenplay with these information. How to deal with the owners of the rights? - the web site text is copyrighted.
1) to cite the name of the web site in the film to avoid the obstacle? I don't like this possibility.
2) write to the owners of the publishing rights of the site requestingthe permission - with a sort of ?option' with terms and price for rights in case the film is made. I'm worried about that. I've no money. They could consider my request a bit strange.
3) let my agent ? I'm going to get one these days ? to do this beforethe screenplay be sold. I'm very worried about that. It's sort of trying to sell to someone a script incomplete.
Unfortunately the site isn't a ?non-profit' one. I hope having been clear. Sorry for my English.

They're sort of suggestions about New York secrets - pubs, restaurants, concerts, public relations and so on.. like a book of Teresa Alan.

In that case, the source might not be your only problem.

I understand, but this is not the point - they aren't that much dangerous (secrets).
Perhaps I'm not able to obtain the rights. But perhaps I should try.
