Re: Copyright question

Actually, in the copyright law there's an allowance for the 
reproduction of certain materials for "fair use."

The "fair use" doctrine embodied in the Fair-Use Statute Section 107 
of the 1976 Copyright Act, allows reproduction and other uses of 
copyrighted works under certain conditions for purposes such as 
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple 
copies for classroom use), scholarship or research for educational 
and research purposes.
