In general, you can copy a small amount of someone else's work without infringing copyright, as long as it is for purposes like criticism, commentary, or education. The amount you can copy varies depending on the specific circumstances and the nature of the work. It is important to always give credit to the original creator and not use the copied material for commercial gain.

How much source code can be used without infringing on copyright?
Unfortunately, there is no clear answer to this in the law, and no apparent pattern to judgments.
What penalty do you face if you brake the copyright law?
Anything from nothing at all to $150,000 per infringement. If you're making copies of something for your own use (like using your office photocopier to copy a book), nobody knows about it and unless you tell people, nothing will happen. If you make copies of something and it gets noticed, the copyright owner can demand damages and sue you if they don't get an agreement. RIAA has been doing this with people involved in filesharing of songs. If you are doing commercial piracy they can demand as much as $150,000 per infringing copy plus court costs and attorneys fees. Plus they get to either keep or destroy the infringing copies.
How much of a copyrighted email can you use?

What are moral issues involved in copyright law?
Copyright is as much an ethical concept as it is a legal concept, primarily because it's very rare that anyone "gets caught." Because it's so easy to find, copy, and distribute infringing material, there's no way for the legal system to prosecute everyone; society relies on an individual's morals to convince him or her to "do the right thing." It's also frequently forgotten that when infringing a copyright, while it seems like you're only hurting Sony or Paramount--big, faceless companies who won't miss a few cents here and there--you're actually interrupting the revenue stream of the individual artists.

What are myths about copyright?
The biggest myth (or misunderstanding) about copyright is that it's designed to stifle creativity. In reality, the intent was to encourage creativity by making it financially viable to create for a living. Say you write a book that you want to publish and sell. If anyone else can copy it and sell it, you're not going to make as much money as you could have if you were the only source.Other myths include...Fair Use allows users to take 10% (or 30 seconds, or 60 seconds) of a work without permission. In reality, the "fair use" clause doesn't include any numbers or hard guidelines like that; in court, smaller excerpts have been found infringing, and much longer excerpts have sometimes been found not to be infringing.Creative Commons weakens copyright laws. In reality, Creative Commons functions as a broad license to enable usage of copyright-protected materials without additional paperwork. Creative Commons can't stand on its own--it needs copyright to make it work.Disney single-handedly caused the Copyright Term Extension Act in order to protect Mickey Mouse. In reality, Mickey Mouse is a registered trademark, and as such is protected in perpetuity as long as it's in use.
