YES! I couldn't agree more.
This discussion has prompted me to start paying attention to various
copyright statements.
For example, recently published fiction books include the following
statement:
"No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic
or mechanical means,
including information storage and retrieval systems, without permission
in writing from the publisher,
except by a reviewer, who may quote brief passages in a review."
Now, does it mean that one cannot use a quote as an epigraph without the
publisher's permission?
What about students who study the book at school? Should they request
permission to quote?
