Reproduction (of original work) It is not necessary that the entire original work be copied for an infraction of the reproduction right to occur. All that is necessary is that the copying be "substantial and material." Under this right, no one other than the copyright owner may make any reproductions or copies of the work. Infringement requires a protected work, that the defendant copied the protected work, and that the defendant's copying of the protected work was an infringement. If a work is not protectable it cannot be infringed upon. Quoting from a book in a review might be a copying of protected material, however this copying may well be permissible.
