Copyright?

[Colorad007]

Is it okay to print off prayers and papal addresses from the Internet, even if the sites have copyrighted their material? I have a bunch of addresses and copies of prayers that I use for wholly personal reference and use, but I don’t want to be stealing anybody’s stuff.

If you’re only using them for personal use and reference, then it’s fine. But to be sure, you’d need to define what ‘personal use’ entails. Certainly, if they’re on the Internet, they are meant to be read. And if you want to print them out to read away from your computer, that seems fine to me.
