No problem. Make a copy of your report. Then, take it to franchise copy house
(e.g., CopyWorks, Kinko's, etc.). They have a highly developed copyrwrite
clearing service and can probably get clearance very quickly for a modest fee.
You *could* clear it yourself. But, heck, you could probably do your own
dental work too.
