Authors may at some point run into a situation in which they interview someone and obtain information from them that ends up in a book, periodical, newspaper etc. This information may be words, photographs, biographical material or other information. Since we all have rights of privacy, it is necessary to obtain from the person interviewed some form of written and signed release and grant or license of rights. If the author is going to be able to fully exploit the written piece, whether a book or article or even in other media, the rights so released must be not only traditional rights of privacy, but rights of commercial usage as well.
