ivorylemur Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hey everyone, I just checked Dragonsteel out from the BYU library yesterday and so I have it for three weeks (it's boss btw). Anyway, I was wondering, since I have access to a university book scanner, would it be legal for me to make a high resolution digital scan and then post it on the internet so you guys can all read it?

Phantom Monstrosity Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) I am not a lawyer, but yes, that sounds like a pretty clear-cut example of copyright infringment. I believe that Brandon generally doesn't want people making unpublished books he sends them publicly available - and I think a lot of the reasons for that should apply to dragonsteel as well. I mean, if he wanted people to just be able to download dragonsteel, he could at any point put dragonsteel.doc up on his website, and it seems kinda rude to do an end-run around that. That said I'm not a mod or anything. Edited May 26, 2013 by Phantom Monstrosity 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivorylemur Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah, that's about what I figured but it didn't hurt to ask. Also, I've been trying to find out where I can read other novels like white sands and the liar of partinel but I can't seem to find any info about them. Do you have any idea?

PeterAhlstrom Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Don't scan it even for yourself. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivorylemur Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Don't worry, I definitely don't want to do anything illegal or rude, this was just sort of an idle question that I had been kicking around. So rest assured that no copies shall be made. Thanks for answering my question. By the way, I hope my question didn't seem out of line, I realize how sensitive this topic can probably be, so I apologize if it came across poorly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
