Copyright laws?
gravesbane:
That is what I thought, but with all the jerks out there willing to hassle people for a buck I didn't want to take any chances.

For school and college assignments, don't cut and paste. :-)
If using, don't forget to use footnotes (*) and the source on the bottom of the page *quote from Twins, JB Forum, author section, copyright laws thread. :-) :-) :-)

If you're interested in writing, it's a good idea to get warm and fuzzy with the copyright laws. They're there to protect YOU! :) The U.S. Copyright office has a terrific FAQ page with a lot of easy, beginner stuff. Spend a little time there. You'll be glad you did!

I notice that USA government website contains information about registering work so it's copyrighted. That's weird, since your work is automatically copyrighted anyway under international law (which the USA has ratified). I guess the purpose is to provide others with a common database to search, rather than to actually copyright anything.

Actually, I had a similar question involving song lyrics.
Let's use the lyrics in my sig. Now, could I get away with attributing the song and singer/writer, or do I have to seek permission from them?
