Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
legality of paraphrasing copyright protected government manual
To whom it may concern,
I am interested in publishing a book which will paraphrase a rather complicated government aviation regulation manual. I am concerned about the legality of paraphrasing copyright-protected material. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Re: legality of paraphrasing copyright protected government manual
One would need to compare your work with the original
before being able to give an opinion. Even then
the ultimate decision would be by a judge or jury,
which is a process you want to avoid. I suggest you
consult an attorney who can explain to you the exceptions
in the copyright law and who is familiar with the
case law in this area.
