RE: Students and copyright

[aslihan akkar <aslihanakkar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 
   
  is this statement legally qualified or is it personal? I'm only asking cause, I was confronted with a similar situation as I wanted to reference a table in a scientific paper and had to ask the author. I really don't know how it should be legally handled, but I guess asking the copyright-holder is certainly ok. 
   
  Greetings,
  Asli

  Academic use is a universally accepted fair-use exception. For fair use
you dont need to obtain permission. Copyright is basically designed to
protect the economic right and moral right of the author. Since academic
use dont cause any economic harm, as it is not for the business, and the
work is duly acknowledged not infringing the moral right of the author,
hence there is no need to go for the permission of the author.

It is to hard to locate and communicate with the authors, hence also it
is quite fair.

Cheers
