  • Using Audio Recording in Book

    Hello.

    I am about finished with writing a book. Part of it includes an interview I gave with someone a year and a half ago. Since it's recorded, I did include the entire conversation in the book. However, I took out all the names we discussed and information which clearly identifies the interviewee. While I anonymized the people involved in the interview, I am identifying the interviewee as a relative to one of the main characters. Is it ok if I still use this conversation in my book, especially since I redacted names?

    Thanks.

    It depends on for what purpose the interviewee was told they were being recorded?

    If they knew the interview would form part of a future publication then you will be fine.
