Legal Question in Intellectual Property in United States

In most cases it would constitute copyright infringement unless it falls within a few narrow categories of fair use or other exceptions, as defined under the United States Copyright Act.

As a franchise attorney I can say you need to get permission to copy someone's article or you can be liable for copyright infringement. Quoting a few lines of an article may fall under the fair use exception, but you need to get legal advice before doing anything. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
