They certainly CAN complain, if they own copyright. And if you violate it
and their lawayer is bigger than yours, you can be forced to pay big time!
If a text is out of print, most publishers will give you permission, though.
The first time I did this, I didn't know the ropes and didn't think to ask
what the cost would be (thinking it would be reasonable). My students were
asked to buy a xerox of a 120-page novelette for over $40 (and this was the
late 1980s!!!!)
