A list of licensee's would have to be availible to Paramount's legal department, but whether they'd run with something like this themselves, or ask for a large chunk of money for that list would be up to them.You'd also probably only be able to use it as a guide due to some of those items being dropped prior to release. Sites like this one, that sell unlicensed merchandise would also come under fire if Paramount was involved with the book at all, or otherwise officially recognized the book. You yourself might be ok doing the book, but if it carried unlicensed items, all those vendors would HAVE to be addressed in COA's at the very least.. otherwise Paramount would lose it's ability to require a license from anyone. I don't know about Germany, but that's approximately the US Copyright laws regarding enforcibility. You wanna talk about making enemies.. I'm no lawyer though.If I were headed this direction, I'd do a book about the fans, and include as much of the licensed stuff as you could find as like an "additional" section, but I'd stay away from paramount with it.
