Question about copyright law

[timidguy]

Dear all,

I am very new here. Therefore, I don't know which is the best place to post this question.
Well, as my nick shown, I am a timid guy. Every now and then, I fear of violating the law.

Recently, I borrowed few books from the library. I read it chapter by chapter. At the same time, I wrote down the important points or notes for my future references, private study and etc. Sometimes, I even go to the library to read books and also write down those important points or summarize it for my private study or future references.

Am i violating the copyright law? Is written important points or notes or summarize the books violating the copyright law? I am very scare now and perhaps if it really violating the law, I don't know how.
By the way, all the points are handwritten.

Hope to get some answers from expert here. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Timidguy

Hi timidguy.

No, it's not violating the law if you're only using the information for private use (i.e. for yourself) & educational purposes for future reference.
