Can I copy material from the internet for research?
15/06/2008
You should first check the website for any statements about copyright which apply to the material you want to copy – the copyright owner may expressly allow you to print and/or download material, possibly under stated conditions. Otherwise, you may print and/or save material to disk if:
it is for your research or study; and
the copying is fair.
The special research exception is unlikely to apply if you supplying copies (e.g. by email) to people unconnected with your research or study.
