...like that in my books? PLEASE HELP.? Ok, so I'm writing a book and I want to talk about specific objects. Like, say a wrote a sentence saying "she picked up her polished green iPod Nano" (not the actual sentence), would I have to get permission from Apple to publish that? Do i have to pay? And same goes for famous people. If i publish "she bobbed her head the the fast beats of Paramore" (again, not the sentence), will I have to get permission and pay? Please answer!
