    Be sure you do not infringe copyright. In general, the guiding principle is that all original material published on the web is the exclusive intellectual property of the originator whether copyright is claimed or not. It appears that such material may not be copied and distributed by anyone else unless permission is granted by the copyright owner. It seems to me that "fair use" can be a sticky proposition.

    It appears that individual countries sometimes interpret some provisions of copyright law according their own protocols -- but in general the International conventions are observed.

    I think caution is the keyword -- nothing may happen because of innocent copyright violations (particularly at this level) but who wants to take a chance in this litigious age?

    Note: I am not a lawyer -- the foregoing are just my personal observations.
