The Book Thing

[inlink]terry,372[/inlink] Here is how I view the book thing. First of all Libaries have all kinds of books all of wich are copywrited they loan them out and don't sell them. They get around the copyrights that way. The books are then returned they are not distrubting them. Now in terms of the books being sold. Giving a preview of the book is not violating the copyright, I think. Plus anyone who thought that the copyrights where violated would be an iddiot to sue. Since the main point of this is to sell books. You are basicly doing the same thing you can do in any bookstore. In those chain bookstores that sell coffee and food you can read a whole book and never be bothered as long as you eat there food. Lets say you go into walden books and see a book that you think you like. You kinda flip through it and see what it is about. Then the person next to you says "That book Is great" So you ask them a question about it. Then They Respond "Oh that topic is coverd in the 3rd chapter". That is all the site is doing really so there shouldn't be any real legal problems with it. Or at least in my view. But I also thought there was nothing wrong with Napster. Why is it any differant then taping off the Radio or Dubing your tape for a buddy. If Your buddy likes enough of the songs then they will turn into a fan and buy shirts and go to that bands concerts and maybe even by a Tape or CD. [bgcolor]#00ffee[/bgcolor]
