Is it legal to post...
A books Chapter listing on a forum?

I would like to enable book reviews to be posted on my forums, along with its chapter listing. Is it legal to post a books chapter listing in a review?

I personally do not think that the publisher will mind a bit of publicity for a book - however, I would get in touch just to make sure.

I think I would definitely get written permission before using anyone's work. It's just common courtesy

www.sparknotes.com - they have like the summary of each chapter. So if what your doing is illegal, then they are doing something illegal. Though you might need permission.

Actually, those are only summaries if I'm not mistaken, which is perfectly legal. It's more when you post anybody's work and don't credit them at all that you run into trouble.

As long as you've credited the proper people, and aren't making money off it, itshould be ok... but better safe then sorry with books.

What do you mean by chapter listing... I figured it was a just a summary. You mean the whole chapter?

Thats basicly it. i asked myself the same question with getting game reviews off other sites. I asked the site owner first and said i would put your credit at the bottom of the review, and a link back to his site. He was fine with that.

Remember, just because somebody else is doing it does not mean that you can do it...What you might not know is that Sparknotes is getting permission from each of the publishers to post information on those books. If they are doing this, then it means you would need to do it also to "legalize" yourself.

I'm fairly certain you can list the chapters of a book. That's not really an issue. It becomes an issue when you're going to list excerpts from the actual work.

I mean the title of chapters within the book. e.g

Quote:
Chapter listing
1. Introduction
2. OSI Model
3. TCP/IP
4. UDP
5. Other Protocols
etc...
Not any Intellectual content from the book chapters.
