well it is a bit yellow around the edges but the relevant bits say...
'Copyright Act...
Purposes of research or private study, criticism or review, or reporting current events...
No more than a "reasonable proportion" of a book or other work may be copied. (The book trade and other interested parties usually interpret "reasonable proportion" as a single extract of up to 4,000 words, or a series of extracts (none over 3,000 words) totalling up to 8,000 words, with neither of these exceeding 10% of the whole work.'
Hmm.
Still... Nicer to ask I suppose...
(I was a little worried about reproducing the Nagel Chapter over on Politics because it is a little book with 8 chapters and I reproduced a whole chapter. I think... I probably broke copyright with that one. Oops. Sorry Nagel. So I should say...
IT IS A VERY GOOD BOOK SO PEOPLE SHOULD BUY IT)
