There is no harm in reading information published on the internet, in books, or newspapers, and quoting from them is a legitimate benefit that does not require special permission, as stated by Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd. However, copying and downloading them requires explicit or customary permission, and it is safer to avoid doing so.
