I think that by large portions of text, etc., it actually has to be some
certain percentage of the book (I don't know what percentage). I'm not
really sure where to find out either. But if this were not so, then you
couldn't go to the library and copy several pages out of the same book
either. It would probably be good to find out what the percentage is.
