Author They are only words!

Hi

Copyright.

If i went to a site and copied a paragraph of text and pasted it onto my
site would I be in for the chop?
They are only a few words so how can somebody say they have the copyright on
them, they have only put them together to make a sentance or two.

What do you think?

It's not so much the words, but what order they are assembled in, how =
many there are, and for what purpose you are using them.

What does it matter what I think? Will it change the law if I don't agree
with it?
