      Some States require voice writers to pass a test and to earn State licensure. As a substitute for State licensure, the National Verbatim Reporters Association offers three national certifications to voice writers: Certified Verbatim Reporter (CVR), the Certificate of Merit (CM), and Real-Time Verbatim Reporter (RVR). Earning these certifications is sufficient to be licensed in States where the voice method of court reporting is permitted.

Is it copyright infringement to copy verbatim from a source when citation of said quote is given?
Q. The situation arises from a public LiveJournal comment. The author of said public post now says I am in violation of her copyright and therefore open to litigation and/or removal from the site where the quote is made unless I remove the quote. The review in question is my own and thus not a problem with copyright infringement since I own the rights and may publish it in any way I choose without or without citation, although I chose to cite the review and provide a link. The copyright infringement allegations come from the author who mentioned my review in a public LiveJournal post that I quoted in its entirety without comment or editorializing in any way. I wanted people to read the review and her response and judge the merits of each. I… [cont.]

A. I'd go with the "fair use" argument. Fair use is a defense, meaning that you're being charged with infringement and you're saying that if it's found to be infringement, then that infringement should be excused because your use falls into a "fair use" exception. If you look at the fair use part of the copyright statute, 17 USC 107 (which I've pasted in at the end of this mesasge), it gives general guidelines for what is fair use. It sounds like you're using the quote to comment or criticize, which are two of the uses allowed. There's a further analysis that can be done, but a lot of that hinges on affect on market for the work that you're quoting, really; I'm guessing that's not going to be a huge issue. While the portion of the material… [cont.]
