That was pretty clearly explained on the copyright info web page this came from, which was referenced, and which you probably didn't actually read, eh? :-) And for fair use, one of the clauses has to do with how much of the original is quoted. There is no clear amount stated in the laws, but in a fair use argument in court, whether you are using 1% or 99% would be considered. So that is a vague sort of time limit on fair use. I think that is why this particular publisher had created the list of guidelines on this website. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
