I am looking to develop a website that aggregates and summarizes the blog content of other bloggers in the US in X amount words in 1 place on my website. I will be paraphrasing the original content in my own words and will be providing credits and hyperlink back to the original blog content. My question is that can I run into any potential copyright issues? Is such usage covered under the fair use policy? Do I still necessarily need to take permission from the blog content owner for such usage?
Providing link of other websites is not an infringement of copyright so long you do not copy and paste anything from the linked page.
It is advisable to go through the term of use of the website you linked if liking is specifically restricted by the website and other relevant aspects.
In cyber law linking other website is not considered illegal in general.
It is in your interest to obtain written permission for blog content from bloggers before you use the same in your website
you should inform the bloggers that you would be providing credits and hyper link back to original blog content
1. The said blog is for public viewing which passes some information or expresses his views on certain matter.
2. This is not a thesis submitted for acquiring Doctorate degree by him which hs been copied by you to get your doctorate Degree.
3. You have paraphrased the content and also provided credit to the blogger hyperlinking his blog.
4. The said content has not been patented.
5. Under the above circumstances, you need not take any permission from the said blogger for for referring his blog.
No. If you give due credit to the original content or the author then there is no infringement of copyright. No need to take special permission.
If the content are not same then you can use web content in your own words on your website.
Answer of all of the above is definitely yes. The content can be used without permission only and only if it isn't copyright protected. Except generic terms, you should not use anyone's content for your website without his permission and without giving him acknowledgement for the same.
Using content without permission shall warrant infringement of copyright.
It is very simple, you seek permission, pay credits to the writer in monetary terms and/or in kind where you acknowledge his contribution and then publish his content for promotion of your website.
Publishing content of someone else in your own name without his permission and acknowledgement is like hiccups to your business, it can come up uncertainly and won't end without complete compensation towards infringement or removal of such content or both.
You may not freely use someone else's work simply because it has been posted on the Internet (a popular fallacy). Whether you find the material online or off, permission is generally needed to reproduce text, artwork, photos, and music. It is wise to operate under the assumption that all material is protected by either copyright or trademark law unless you have good reason to know that it is not.
As a general rule, any original work -- whether text, visual art, photos, or music -- is protected by copyright law, which means that you may not reproduce it without permission from the copyright owner.
If you do not cite the author, readers will think it is your work. This means you are claiming credit for someone else's work and is called plagiarism. It's illegal. If you publish someone else's work without the appropriate licence or permission you are committing copyright piracy.
Fortunately, a fair use exemption allows you to legally copy small amounts of someone else's work.
- The contents of a blogger is already got copyright automatically , and permission is mandatory to use the same.
- Further , after giving the link /reference of that blogger , it can be used .
If the web content is copyrighted then definitely you need his consent.
Hello!
Merely paraphrasing the content and providing credits will not help you escape the copyright violation.
This does not amount to fair use.
Obtain a written consent of the original author if you want to avoid such issues.
Best wishes.
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is suggested that you better develop you own contents and don't go behind other's content as it will be create the legal issues.
