- Greetings all -- hope you had a happy holiday. Now, on to
- my question.
-
- We would like to take information available from a CD, and re-index
- it for use on a LAN Database system. We're thinking about using
- reference books and that kind of thing. My question is, is this in
- violation of the copyright of the disk? If so, is it possible to buy
- a site license for the disk so it can be used in this type of setup?
- I suspect that it would be a copyright violation, I'm just make sure.
-
- Any help or other suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to
- start a debate about copyright -- we really are going to try to do
- this nice and legal. E-mail or post, either way I'll find it. Thanks.
