from New York State,
Hey everyone,
I am putting together a free iPod application for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
The idea is to take quotes from books, articles, newsletters, podcasts, etc. and put them in the application as an inspirational or educational quote of the day. For example, if the application was regarding children with autism (just an example, the application relates to something else), we would collect a few hundred short quotes from our favorite books and articles and reprint them so that people could view one quote a day. Of course, we would set it up so that users could flip through them all at once as well.
I see this as similar to writing a book in which the author does not need permission to reprint short quotes. Can I assume that it is legal to use short quotes from books and articles in such a manner?
Thanks,
