Refering to other site's content

Is it okay to directly present another site's content, as long as the site is linked to and given credit?

I'm specifically concerned with pdf documents and exe files... but I'll make this more of a broad question. For example, if there is an html page that has a chart image, instead of linking to it offsite, you save it local to your host (with the proper link and credit given to the borrowed image). The reason I would need to do this is for the continuity of the page, as well as a failsafe in case that offsite content expires or gets moved elsewhere causing a broken link.

I remember in a Web Design class I had to take in college, the teacher explained that legally as long as you had references you could pull whole pages if you wanted to...
 
I'm sure that would be fine, you probably should contact the other webmaster and ask them. but if you give proper credit, I don't see it being a problem unless it copyrighted or something

What is the legal process of copyrighting?
