Dear Sir,
I am writing a text book on Accounting, where I used financial data from publicly financial data e.g. balance sheet etc available in Annual Reports of the companies. I sent emails to respective companies for permissions. Few of them responded but many of them are not replying even after sending 4-5 reminders.
Someone told me that if the companies do not respond even after sending 4 reminder mails, the data can be used after acknowledging the source. Is this true? If true, please also quote the section of the relevant act.
