Not really sure that this analogy applies, because I could definitely photocopy as many books from the library as I physically can. No one is going to stop me.

- datagram 3y agoAs far as I'm aware, photocopying an entire book does in fact violate copyright law and librarians will refuse to help you do it: https://guides.cuny.edu/cunyfairuse/librarians https://guides.cuny.edu/cunyfairuse/librarians
- ricardo81 3y agoWell it's not so much about the physical act of doing it, it's the trying to convince the world it's for your own private use and not for commercial gain. Otherwise, intellectual property laws can perhaps apply. It'd be a hard push to claim it's fair use, a wholesale copying of other's works.
