Please, can we not get into THAT discussion again here?
I am not the list moderator, but...... About every three to six months
on this list, someone asks about sharing copies of something, and it
leads into an extended exchange of conflicting, passionate posts about
what exactly the copyright laws DO say, what they SHOULD say, what's
right, what's wrong, what's fair and unfair, legal and illegal..... and
it can go on for weeks.
If Ruth Bean as publisher is the copyright owner, first bear in mind
that the book was copyrighted under UK law which is not identical to US
copyright law. Previous discussions based on US copyright law do not
necessarily apply.
Second, if Ruth Bean is the copyright owner, then she has the power to
give or withhold permission, and she seems to be right here to ask.
Meaning there is no need for an extended discussion.
That does not mean I think copyright discussions are inappropriate
merely because you are tired of them, but having the copyright owner
right there to ask cuts right to the chase. I assume she knows exactly
what she registered for protection under UK law.
