Copyright issues of blogs

For the contents placed in Google Blogger, we have to obey the Digital Millennium Copyright Act according to Google policy (http://www.google.com/adsense_dmca.html).

More details can be found in http://www.copyright.gov/. Especially in http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html#permission, "Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports." "Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances."

In http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html, “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment" is treated as fair use.
