Is it legal?

[Erich K]

Is it legal to quote things from the web? For example, If someone posted something on digg.com, would it be legal to quote that on a blog? Or would you have to ask permission from the original writer?

put quotes around it and give credit to the source

 

[DefragMyHead]

Unless youre in school quoting a source, or unless youre quoting someone in a publication that will make you money I don't think it's illegal or forbidden in any enforcable way to "quote" someone.

 

[Vybuni]

Its only illegal if you claim the quoted material as your own work. (so make sure you cite the source)
