Is it legal to create a website that freely provides the contents of books which are another company&#39;s IP?
<p>This question is rather specific. I am a fan of the tabletop roleplaying game 'Call of Cthulhu' by Chaosium Inc., but find since it isn't hugely popular that there aren't enough easily accessible online resources for the game. <br>
I want to create a website which serves as an electronic resource for finding the information strewn throughout Chaosium's many source books for the game.
<br><br>
Would it be legal for me to do so?<br>
My best reference for this is a very similar website for Dungeons and Dragons, <a href="https://5e.tools" rel="nofollow noreferrer">5etools</a>, which has almost all the content from all of Wizard of the Coast's books freely available on it. Is this not plagiarism? Piracy? It doesn't quite feel fully legal to me.
<br> <br>
Thanks!</p>

<p>You cannot legally publish someone else's materials on a website.</p>
<p>It is no different from publishing a copy of a book for profit.</p>
