As an editor, am I responsible for copyright or moral rights infringement if an author or publisher uses a quote that should have been cleared?
1/06/2008
Generally, no.
However, as a practical matter, one of the expectations of an editor may be that he or she will draw potential copyright and moral rights issues to the attention of the person they are working for. It is best to clarify with the person for whom you are doing the editing whether or not he or she has any expectation that you will do so.
