copyright ? display of crystal structures from atomic coordinates

[Michael Engel]

Hello
a "copyright" question:

Can I display crystal structures using atomic coordinates from publications
on my webpage without the consent (but with citation) of the author ? Does
it fall under "fair use" (sorry, don't know the exact term) ? What about
very old papers (1930-50) ?

I would be happy to read your comments about this "problem".

Thank you very much.

Michael Engel
