The short answer is, you ask the copyright holder.
The long answer is, it depends on the type of work, and your proposed use. For some uses, you can get a blanket license from a royalty collecting society that will cover thousands of works for a given period of time. For others, you will need to negotiate directly with the rightsholder for a license, which will be very specific to your use.

∙ 12y agoIf you are the author, you automatically have copyright protection as soon as it is written. If you are not the author and wish to use the materials, you would not be buying the copyright; you would be seeking a license to use the materials in a specific way, and the author would still be the copyright holder.
