Copyright laws

[quigonginger]

I just coded a post in which the poster provided a transcript of an 
entire JKR interview.  Does copying the entire interview (as opposed 
to a bit of it) violate any copyright laws?  It was copied from a 
website.  Does this make a difference?

The original was not deleted, so I kind of assumed it was ok, but I 
just wanted to double check.  If it is not, I have written the post 
number down and I will uncode it.

Thanks, Ginger
