Internet research business issues and possible complications? -

A while back I inquired about the legalities of creating an internet research company. Ironically after doing lengthy research I am no closer to understanding the laws now than I was than. Here are my questions:1. Potential clients of mine want mostly internet links so they can look at the information themselves and print what they want, if necessary. However some want printed media sent to them. Do any of this fall under copyrigth law therefore preventing me from doing so. 2. Being a college graduate I have seen MANY graduate students and others of higher status pay runners or researchers to do the research for them. This research included mounds of copied material for reference purposes. Is what I want to do any different than what they are doing if they are getting paid for it? If so, how are they avoiding copyright infringement, the researchers I mean.My point is this...I am very talented at research and wish to use my talents for a second income, but of course doing it legally. I have networked for many potential clients and possibilities are there, but how do I do it? As many opinions as I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This link will take you to a site where you can check specific information about what copyrite is.http://www.copyright.org.au/information The following is information from one of the links at that site: ....Copyright term, duration, expiry, public domain.April 2009This information is for general guidance only; it is not legal advice.For most material, copyright lasts for 70 years after the end of the year of the creator��s death, or 70 years from the end of the year the material was first made public. Material protected for 70 years after first publication includes works first published anonymously or under a pseudonym (where the author cannot be identified), works first published after the creator��s death, recorded sounds, and films made since 1 May 1969. There are shorter periods of protection (50 years from making or 50 years from first publication) for material made for, or first published by, a Commonwealth or State government department or agency.If the author died before 1955, however, the copyrights in works published in the author��s lifetime have expired. This is because the copyrights had already expired when the copyright periods were extended on 1 January 2005, and there was no ��revival�� of copyrights which had already expired.Copyright expires at the end of a year, and comes into the public domain on 1 January of the following year. If a writer died on 15 June 1960, for example, copyright will expire on 1 January 2031 (not on 16 June 2030)....
