Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

Re: Copyrighted Information on Websites

Maybe.

Whether your quotation would violate the copyright owner's rights depends upon several factors, including the amount of material you are copying (particularly in relation to work as a whole) and your purpose in doing so. It may be OK to quote extensively if, for example, you are using the material for scholarly commentary. On the other hand, it may be illegal to take only a small part, even if you correctly attribute the source, if your purpose is purely commercial.

If you would like to discuss the specifics of your plans, you can reach me on the Web at http://www.netatty.com or by calling (650) 938-3536.
