I wanted to use a few images from a 1940 Popular Science article on comics. (This remains under copyright until 2036.) The licensing people said $3,240 to use in a book. I said, this is a modest circulation book and I want to use just a fraction of the article. The response: there’s no adjustment in the rate for any reason, including whether you reprint the whole article or not.
And that is why people hate copyright terms.
Do I have a fair-use stance to make? Possibly. Will I? ????
