The best way to use copyrighted materials legally is by purchasing a license from the copyright owner. The costs of the license will vary depending on the scope and type of usage you have in mind. Most publishers make their material available through licensing, or alternatively, you can purchase books and other items from the author or publisher. Another option is to look for works that are licensed under Creative Commons terms — this usually means that the work is freely available for certain types of reuse.

Depending on the material, there may be a royalty or fee associated with obtaining permission. Additionally, you may be able to obtain a license from an organization like the Copyright Clearance Center which gives you the ability to legally use copyrighted materials within certain guidelines.
