…However, we all cross the line at some point. I frequently quote chunks of the Strata Act which is strictlly speaking copyright but, hey, we paid for it and it is helping to make people more aware…
I doubt you quote very large chunks of the Act without proper attribution. I’m no expert but I thought that there was a concept of ‘fair dealing’ or similar which allowed one to quote up to some percentage of a work if it is attributed and part of reasonable comment. Consequently, I would have thought it would be legal and quite appropriate if you were to quote a section of the Act in the context of commentary about why it should be changed or an explanation of what it means.
