If you use copyrighted work without permission, you may be violating or “infringing” the rights of the work’s owner. To publish or use the work of a specific person/owner of the material, permission from the owner is required; otherwise, the owner may claim illegal use of his work. To avoid such blunders, a detailed letter is sent to the owner before using the content.
