Is it ok/legal? Summarizing or reviewing books but only paid members can see them

5 replies
Hi fellow Warriors,

Got few questions, I hope you will be able to chime in and give your thoughts on them. Here goes:

If I were to provide a summary of a book in a paid membership, Should I get a permission from the author?

Would it be any different if instead of a summary, it's a review of the book?

What if I have my own notes about the book sort of like Cliff Notes version of the book and I want to provide that to paid members, is that legal?

Think of Rich Dad and Poor Dad, most people have read it but I were to summarize it or take the main points and put them in a paragraph or two for the benefit of the readers although they still can buy the book from Amazon and a link will be provided.


Please share your thoughts, ideas or experiences.

Best Regards.

PS: Of course, I'm not looking for qualified legal advice and know that only qualified copyright attorney can provide that!
