- quitit 3y agoRespectfully and for your own protection you should be aware that not all forms of excerpts or duplication are copyright infringement. This reproduction can easily pass for fair use as it's quoting the answer to the question that only O'Reilly can answer authoritatively. Secondly O'Reilly is not compelled to bring a complaint against such use, unlike for example the protection of trademarks. Unfortunately infringement of intellectual property rights are settled through complaints - so best practice is to never duplicate unless clearly falling into exceptions such as fair use, the TEACH act or if being used in face-to-face instructional settings. If you do a mental exercise to think of all the ways that you see the content of others reproduced in other places, you can begin to appreciate the greyness of IP laws. (E.g. Google crawling then quoting the header lines from a website, news articles quoting documents, the public citing of evidence of harm and so on.)
