You forgot copyright law

---Copyright law covers reproduction - which they are defnitely doing. Yes, it is considered stealing.---


The problem is not that people forgot copyright law. The problem is most people don't have a clue what it is. You are a shining example.

1. Reproduction is not illegal, only distribution.
2. It is never considered theft, only unauthorized distribution.

Copyrights do not give the holder absolute control over anything. If I buy your book I can create as many copies of it as I wish and use it for toilet paper. I can burn it. You have no say in that. If and only if I distribute copies, or excerpts, except in certain fair use circumstances, can you rear your ugly head and say something. I can use your work to ridicule you in a parody without fear of infringement. I probably would do that, (and, of course, create lots of toilet paper) just to taunt you since your knowledge of copyrights is nonexistant.

Of course this has been covered many times here. Seems the dorks never learn.
