Hi! Lloyd, I am most interested. I understand that under Oz Law one can copy up to ten percent of a copyright work, for personal use or study on any one day and it is then understand that on another day one can copy another ten percent etc. I suggest that if the largest section posted on a site is no more than ten percent and as long as the whole thing is not on the one site at the same time, there should be no great problem. If half was on one site and the rest on an unrelated site, it would be hard to make a case.
As you know, we have cheap access to the net here and size is not much problem, so it would be up to those for whom it is a problem, to speak up. I am sure Allan knows this sort of detail about those on the list. Gil Lower, Central Oz.
