It really looks like a clear case for copyright infringement to me since it's already against the law to photocopy an entire book without permission. <br /><br />You know, all our talk about burning CD's dates us at this point.

It would be wonderful if publishers would include extra material with e-books (videos, articles, photos, interviews, etc.).

Imagine having a unit that you can lay your book in, turn it on, walk away, and when you come back the whole thing is perfectly digitized! It would have been nice to have something like that before I decided to sell off my collection of 3000 books a couple years ago! :)<br /><br />The Book Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08742929699209017621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-16376192539500224852011-01-12T19:06:30.422-06:002011-01-12T19:06:30.422-06:00Like you, I can see legal battles ahead as publish...Like you, I can see legal battles ahead as publishers try to keep it (and, in the future, improved products) from getting on the market, and they'll probably be even fiercer than the ones that happened when when CD rippers took off.
