| CrazzyMan said: @Willem, PIRACY - is when YOU SELL software, which you didn`t create. So, what now, IF i borrow a BOOK from a friend and SCANNED some pages, i DID a crime? If i don`t buy a book, i can`t USE those papers? Just listen to yourself how RIDICILOUS you sound. |
The situation with scanning pages from a book you are describing could be considered fair use. Fair use is a concept in US copyright law that allows for reproduction of small portions of the work for editorial or educational use. It's a fairly complicated legal concept.
Copyright law, however, says that distribution of copyrighted materials (even for free) is illegal
In other words, he does not sound ridiculous. He sounds right.
