I have an issue I hope you can shed some light on. I have started a website that posts restaurant menus online (www.menuask.com). So far restaurant owners have been very receptive of the idea, but I am concerned with the legality of posting copyrighted documents online. I have researched copyright laws, and it seems I am treading in a gray area. I am posting copyrighted information on my website, but I am not directly profiting from the content. My website does not take away from the copyright holders business, in fact it promotes it. My main question is what damages could I be held liable for if a restaurant decided to sue me? I thank you for your time.
