OT: question on copyright & distribution of information
Subject:OT: question on copyright & distribution of information From:"Jessica N. Lange" <jlange -at- oee -dot- com> To:"TechWR-L" <TECHWR-L -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 10 Feb 2000 13:50:13 -0500
We want to give a potential customer a copy of a favorable
review of our product that appeared in a trade paper. Since
what we have is a faxed copy unsuitable for such presentation,
we want to retype it, including all attributions to the paper.*
Does anyone know if this is legal or not? Or do you know
of a web site where I could check out such copyright issues?
The presentation to the customer is tomorrow, of course.
*Since this landed in the Tek Com department, I'm hoping
this is not too far off topic for this list.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
