Discussion:
My state is Colorado.
If I use information from books, or one book in particular, as a main but not sole source for a biography-type screenplay about actual historical, deceased persons, does that obligate me or a film producer to give credit and/or payment to the author(s) of the book(s)?
Answer:
Well now, that depends. Is the book you're talking about the Bible or "The Bourne Identity"?
