It might be better to just let the publisher deal with that, if it is accepted for publication. The companies might be too busy for you, but they won't be too busy for them. Just make sure to keep a list of any copyright/legal issues like that, and then if you get an editor to work with, make sure you address those issues with that editor. ... Or if you get an agent, the agent can include those issues when negotiating. I doubt that anyone will respond to you if you don't work through a publishing company... although I could be wrong. :)
