I hear from my newsletter editor there will be an article on *'fair use'*
of copyright material.  That is one can legally reproduce sections of or
all of copyrighted materials under certain conditions.  

In books the reproduced material has a statement in the front saying
permission from so and so.  I've seen many journal articles that
quote and reference material without copyright permission mentioned.  
There was a concern about plagarism - using material without reference.
