How can you protect yourself from copyright infringement when taking information from the internet?
Straight factual information may not be protected by copyright at all; the expression is protected. Just as when using research from physical sources like books and magazines, summarizing or rewording the material is not infringing, but direct quotes need to be properly cited. (This is less of a copyright issue and more of a plagiarism issue.)
If what you want to use from the internet is more creative than factual, you just need an exemption in the law or permission from the rightsholder.

Without a license, yes.

What does a copyright cost?
Nothing. All creative works in the US are automatically copyrighted when first physically made. There are fees to REGISTER a copyright, but registration is needed only if you anticipate a likelihood of commercial use. The "mail it to yourself" idea suggested by a couple of other posters is sometimes called a "poor mans copyright", and has no legal value whatsoever in the US. If a copyright is infringed, and the copyright is not registered, the only legal recourse is to have a court order the infringement stopped - no damages can be sought or awarded. If the copyright IS registered, then there can be damages. There's no 'in-between' area for stuff that's been mailed back to yourself. Copyright law - including 'poor mans copyright' - is addressed by the US copyright office in the link below.
