What disclaimer to be used to avoid copyright infringement issues while publishing a book summary on web?

A summary generally wouldn't require any kind of disclaimer. As long as you're not quoting heavily from the original material, you wouldn't be even close to infringing.If you are quoting heavily, the only disclaimer that might help would be one saying that you are quoting by permission of the copyright holder. But that will only help if you really dohave the permission of the copyright holder.

How do you get a Disney copyright permission to quote 2 lines from a film?

To request copyright permission for a Disney property, write to the Permissions Department at the Disney organization. However, there is a 'fair use' doctrine in copyright that permits a limited amount of use without permission. While it is not precisely defined, this is the provision that allows a writer to quote a few lines from a book or movie in a review without seeking permission. Two lines from a film may well be 'fair use' and quoting such a small part of the work would not then require permission of the copyright holder.

It depends on the type of book, the type and extent of use, and much more. If you're quoting a sentence from a nonfiction book in a dissertation, you really just need to properly cite it. If you're using an entire short story in an anthology, you will need permission from the copyright holder.

If you state the name of the person whom you are quoting, then you are by definition not plagiarizing.

Of course, you may still be guilty of violating a copyright, if you quote at excessive length without the author's permission. It just won't be plagiarism.


Would quoting the first verse of The Highwayman in a novel be considered Fair use if the poem is copyrighted?

It is copyrighted until 70 years after the author's death, under British law, but public domain in the USA, having been published in the English language prior to 1923. Like any other copyrighted works, the question of "fair use" would depend upon a number of circumstances related to HOW it was being used. As a general rule, use of a small portion of a work, without profit intention, without depriving the copyright owners of a ready market, and for an educational purpose may well qualify as a fair use.
