Is there anything new? Thanks, Muhammad -----Original Message----- From: Muhammad Majid Almajid Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2016 1:06 PM To: 'sharon_wilke@harvard.edu' Subject: FW: Using figures from a Belfer report Hi Sharon, As I explained to you over the phone, I used a couple of figures from the attached report of yours. My professor send me this note: "In addition, I have flagged both of your figures for copyright issues. Please read and internalize what I have to say about this before doing anything. Under U.S. law, figures are considered "art" and are thus copyrighted to their maker the instant they are created. There is no such thing as an uncopyrighted figure. There are only figures whose copyrights have been released to you. Obviously you may not give away on the Internet in perpetuity, as your release at the bottom says you are doing, something that does not belong to you in the first place. Accordingly, you may not use these figures in an Internet publication without obtaining written permission from the copyright holder to do so." So I am asking you to give me the permission to use these figures in my report. I do not know what the exact procedure is but I am curious to find out! Thanks. The two figures that I used are attached as well. Thanks in advance.

I am Muhammad Almajid, a graduate student at Stanford University. I don’t know if you are the right person to talk to regarding this issue but I have to write a report for a class that I am taking this quarter and I was wondering if I can get the copyrights to use two of the figures you have in one of your reports (report about Iran nuclear deal)? I don’t know how to obtain the copyrights to using these figures or if I can to begin with. Please let me know. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Muhammad
