Rights & Licensing
Permissions and respectful use
Rights and licensing are part of caring for the record: how words, images, names, books, artwork, and source material are quoted, credited, protected, and shared.
A careful starting point
TVPress is an editorial and reference site about the creative legacy of William and Hui Cha Stanek. Its pages are written for reading, citation, research, press reference, and responsible introduction to the work.
Some material on this site refers to books, photographs, paintings, art collections, studio history, reviews, public facts, and family images. These materials should be handled with care. A page may be public, but that does not make the underlying work free for reuse.
Quoting from TVPress
Short quotations from TVPress may be appropriate for articles, reviews, classroom materials, library guides, bookseller notes, and reference summaries when the source is credited clearly and the quotation is not misleading.
When quoting, preserve the meaning of the passage. Do not remove context in a way that changes the sense of the page, the person being described, or the work being discussed.
Images, artwork, and photographs
Images on TVPress are part of the site’s human and archival record. They should not be copied, altered, sold, republished, or used in promotional materials without permission.
Requests involving photographs, artwork, book covers, family images, studio images, or artwork details should describe the intended use, publication, format, audience, territory, duration, and whether the use is editorial, educational, commercial, or institutional.
Books, excerpts, and adaptations
Requests involving book excerpts, adaptations, dramatic rights, audio, film, television, translation, classroom reproduction, large-scale institutional use, artwork from books, or long passages should be made in writing.
The fiction has appeared under Robert Stanek, R. Stanek, and W. R. Stanek. The nonfiction, technology, leadership, travel, wellness, art, photography, and public biography side of the work appears under William Stanek and William R. Stanek. Please use the correct publishing name when making a request.
