Denied Artist Permission Requests

[DossarLX ODI]

While not rejected, I'll look more into this. I had a conversation with stavie33 concerning Theatrix permission and I think I might be able to get permission, but not exactly sure.

The people we're referring to here are Nils Hakansson and Joyce Hakansson.

She said check out Tom Snyder Productions, as they bought the majority of the rights. She said she'd give us permission if she could, but since she no longer has any rights to it there's nothing she can do. Some apparently went to Scholastic as well. Hope this helps.

I actually ended up getting their house number, he called her while we were in the office, and it was kinda weird talking to her at home about this, but they are really nice people. I could go ask if they know anything about the artists specifically, I didn't ask that. But apparently the rights are all over the place, Snyder just has the most. Apparently when Theatrix went down lots of companies decided to pick up the rights to lots of different things they worked on, and she has no idea who owns what now.

Apparently they don't remember or have the information for any of the artists anymore, and said I have the same amount of information as them, whatever's on the internet. I'm sorry it didn't work out better, kinda hoping it would too. Not sure scholastic would give us permission but could be worth a try.
