LEGAL DISCLAIMER FOR BOOK
I am working on my first indie book which marks the years since my brother's passing. To refer to an intense patriarchal figure I wanted to use Firelord Ozai, is that fine mindful of copyright please find a passage - any advice
Here is an excerpt:
In my childhood room I have my sketchbook, where I
started some drawings for Prince’s headstone a year after
his death, but I haven’t picked up the project since, and
there were problems due to familial constraints. Some of
Prince’s friends entertained the idea of possibly getting a
headstone but that was simply out of the question
because of the controlling ways of a person I liken to
Firelord Ozai (the main antagonist in the animated series
Avatar: the Last Airbender). When Prince Zuko, Firelord
Ozai’s son, innocently spoke out of turn, his father
challenged him to an agni kai (firebending duel). Clearly
outmatched Prince Zuko was facially disfigured by his
father. With Firelord Ozai it’s their way or the highway.
Any guidance on disclaimers. I was keen to use Ozai as it really embodies the intensity and cruelty of the unnamed figure. I am mindful of copyright. My editors have told me it should be fine to use but for extra coverage any advice for a catchall disclaimer.
