Spiritual meaning in high school musical book?

We Answered:

I honestly do not know, but it's funny that you ask this because just a few minutes ago I was thinking how the song "Breaking Free" sounded like a gospel song. You know, the way it goes "there's not a star in heaven that we can't reach", and "more than hope, more than faith." A good way to find that book is to either Google it, or call a local bookstore such as Borders and tell them what it's about. Chances are they've been asked about it and will know how to help you. :)

Would mentioning High School Musical in a book be copyrighted or something?

We Answered:

No it isn't a problem. Usually. Not if it is an every day item that a person might normally use. The problem comes in the context. If you say something bad about the product like he opened a can of (a certain beverage in a red can) and found a dead roach in it, THEN you are saying something derogatory about the company and are entering lawsuit territory. Citations aren't used in fiction. When you see something that looks like a citation on the publisher's page of a novel, it means someone paid money for the use of the words, etc. Usually that applies to song lyrics - which always cost BIG money to use.

What I always tell people is this. If you are publishing traditionally, copyeditors read this material and mark things like this for the legal department to look at. If the legal department senses that there will be trouble, they will change it. Remember that at that point you have sold the rights to your book and the company has the right to edit it as they see fit. So they might say "He opened a can of cola and found an insect in it. Soften it up a bit - make it generic. No publisher is going to knowingly leave themselves open for legal action. That is why they have a legal department.

The real issue comes in if you self publish. Remember self publishers print ANYTHING. They do not read it first. If you can pay for it, they will print it. So if you use a company's name in a manner that is derogatory and defaming, YOU will be sued. If you are minor and your parents signed the contract, they will be sued. This has happened many times. One major self publishing nightmare of a company printed a book of naked photos of a man's ex-wife for him to pass out to his friends as revenge. She sued him AND the company - claiming they should have looked at the material before they printed it. They lost and now they owe millions in damages.

So err on the side of caution if you are self publishing. Take the names out. Do not even use similar names like High School Music Show because people will know what you mean.

Your real problem here is Disney. Disney is the one company that I (and many others) fear. Because Disney sues. They are very protective of their trademarks, characters, etc. The proper thing would be to talk to a trademark attorney, but it would be much simpler to just say the character was auditioning for a teen musical show. People will understand what that means.

Basically this is the rule -- If you are traditionally publishing, allow the legal department to make the decision. If you are on your own, back away. And never mess with Disney. Pax-C

High school musical book report?

We Answered:

Oh god, you are NOT doing a book report on High School Musical, are you? *sigh* Oh, what has become of this world...

- It addresses "real teen issues" ...or tries to, anyways
- The characters don't have any crazy powers
- It takes place in a "normal high school" ...minus the breaking out into song bit...
- The relationships are "realistic"
