Living leaders who also are authors, including Angela Merkel, GW Bush, and Barack Obama, don't do it. Should publishers, and self-published authors, who quote from their writings have to pay them off as well?
If insert any person or legal entity here agrees to insert any contract stipulation here should they comply with said agreement?
