You can use excerpts under the Fair Use aspect of copyright, which is slowly becoming a standard of 10% or 400 words for many blogs (but check their blog's copyright policy or ask FIRST), but you can't have the whole thing, including the list. And thanks, Rose, for clearing this up for so many. It's an important issue. If we all put all of our energy on creating original content, none of this would be an issue and the world would be a better place, don't you think? :-) We need to make the web a "copy-cat free" neighborhood.

Don't quote me on that though. The grouping of such list is what would be protected. Aimee, I would think that would fall under compilation copyrights and may actually be an infringement.

Can you copy someone's list or paraphrase from a book as long as you site your source, where you got it from? I always do so but am still worried about infringing on copyright laws. Thanks!
