fair use
Although fair use is useful for consumers, one of the problems is that there is no limit as to how many words or line on can take without permission of the author. It is very interesting to note that just because we acknowledge the work of the author does not mean that we have the permission to use his/her work. I think that this is an interesting point, especially for college students because it puts into perspective how much information we can take either from the internet or book and quote it in our paper. So far no professor, as far as I know, has complained about how much information was quoted by the student, and hopefully we won’t get to that point.
The question that was on my mind when I was writing is that: would websites that are for research such as Google, be in trouble because they provide us this information that we use without the permission of the author?
