1 Answer from Attorneys
As a Franchise Attorney I can shed light on the copyright portion of your question. "Fair use" is alive and well. It is basically a defense that can be raised if you get sued for copyright infringement. Fair use allows very limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission for things like commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching, library archiving and scholarship. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
