I remember reading (some years ago) that once a book is published or a website is created that its content and information becomes public domain and can be used by anyone as long as you have developed your own thesis. I usually write poetry or fiction, so I've never had to worry about citing sources or asking for proper consent. It's mostly asking for the proper consent that has me worried. I've never ran into a subject that has required this much research before. Is there any advice that someone here can give me? It would be very appreciated.

Thanks for the link. I found exactly what I was looking for. A term called 'fair use'. I've run across a couple of interesting facts from some well established sourcs in my reading and asking them for proper consent would be well... impossible.
Thanks again, Soon.
