I remember because Gnomon Copy, which had a store in State College (Penn State), had to change the way they did things. Up to that point, professors would have students get a copy made of various articles rather than buying the entire textbooks containing the articles. That went out the window.

Now, you're allowed to make a single copy yourself for personal use, but it's not something to distribute. So the copies I sent to Alan still have to be considered "mine," or I risk violating the spirit of the laws. I'm just letting him read "my copy."

If you take, say, a AAA map to Kinko's these days, they are supposed to refuse you if you ask them to make a copy. You'll be allowed to make the copy yourself for personal use on one of their machines, but they will not make it for you.

Rob can post the stuff, however. He says it's okay.
