Dear Linguists and Lawyers,

I am troubled with Legal aspects of corpora compiling. I am in
doubt if is an illegal procedure storage webpages (or part of them)
in a database (see at http://www.dictionarium.com/project.htm),
not available to public, and display its contents as short collocations
less than 100 characters by time by search method.

On the other hand, the Internet search engines uses cached (temporary ?)
copies of the sites and display a short of the web pages.

My procedure is wrong? Which the Legal difference? I need ask permission
for each website to storage its pages? If I mention the source and the author
I will be protecting the copyrights?


I look forward to hearing from you.


Yours Sincerely,


J. L. De Lucca
