...that doesn't change the fact that their app operates in a grey area of copyright infringement.
Like I mentioned earlier: I'm not as informed in copyright law as I would like. Would you mind pointing out to me where this is a grey area? Since I'm personally an American citizen, where - in the US Code, the DMCA, or some other law that we have - is this a grey area?
- jrockway 17y agoIt's not a grey area. Buying a book and skimming the boring parts is not illegal.
- Zev 17y agoThats basically what I thought. Perhaps I should have said "Where you think this is this a grey area."
- natrius 17y agoMaking a copy of the book without the boring parts is illegal. This is what I think Instapaper does.
- jrockway 17y agoIt's perfectly legal if you do it for your own personal use.
