I did a little research and have come to believe that the hypothetical situation I described in my original post would fall under the doctrine of "fair use" (at least in the United States). Therefore not being an infringement of copyright as there is no change to the material, no improper display (as in portraying the copyrighted material in a negative or distorting way) or otherwise damaging the right holder.
If any one has an alternate view, please post!
Thanks again!

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds
