Burhan BVK Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It varies from country to country, but mostly you can't just copy the text. If you are using a big portion of the content you would have to ask the owner's permission. If you are doing just a minor 1-2 line copy, you can just do it without asking but you would have to include the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
