Hello,
I work in a small company and we plan to launch a website where analytical articles and reviews will be published. Those articles and reviews will be based on or will include information from various international sources such as news websites, websites of government authorities (statistical data, reports), reports of analytical agencies (available for free downloading from their websites), information from corporate websites, research studies, etc.
So, my question is, is it permitted by the copyright laws 1) to cite (quote) any information from the above mentioned sources without getting prior permission from copyright owners, and 2) to mention any ideas, conclusions, etc. (without direct quotation) from such sources without getting prior permission from copyright owners.
Of course, a list of references and links to sources will be provided for each article in both cases.
And one more thing. In cases when prior permission is required, should it be a paper signed by both parties, or a simple email is enough?
Thank you very much for your help!
