As far as I know you always need permission for performing and or
broadcasting a copyrighted work and I am afraid that it may be very
difficult and expensive for the two authors you mentioned. Any chance you
can change it to a reading of works no longer IN copyright
( Mark Twain, Melville etc) It would make your life a lot easier

Good Morning! I have a copyright question that's not quite what I see you all usually dealing with but was hoping I might get some advice with re: the taping of an actor (non-union) here at my library. We are paying him a fee. We would like to tape him for our Library Cable Network channel which airs over cable TV on a government/educational channel here in Illinois. We will own the rights to the taped program. He will receive a copy for his personal use. He will be giving a dramatic reading performance of a James M. Cain and Dashiell Hammett short story. Do I need to get permission to do this? If so, do I have to it through the publisher or estate? Has anyone ever done this? Thanks in advance for any response, Gena Gena K.
