here is a link to read about copyright laws
Library of Congress Copyright office
here is a link to the Fair Use Act which is what I was talking about in the other thread:
http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107
the part that is most interesting is this:
Quote:
|
the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

and there is more that you can read there.....
hope this clears up the confusion to what I was referring to before.....I only add this to the conversation because a few years back, ivillage really started deleting posts because of copy of the whole article...and when they (and by they I mean their lawyers) looked into it, they gave us this information above.
