FWIW, the seller has the following near the end of her listing:
"To the best of my knowledge, all data in this CD was gathered from public domain sources. No charge is being made for the contents of this cd only
materials and for my time to collect, organize and distribute."
Actually, the seller has no legal right to take *your* scanned images and distribute them to anyone else. The contents of the books may now be in public domain, but *your* scans are now *your* copyright! It's no different than if I took a professional photograph of the Mona Lisa, the photo is *my* copyright so you have no legal right to distirbute my photo if I put it on my website. If this seller wants to acquire the books and then scan them and then sell the CD, that would be perfectly fine. Using your scans is NOT!!!
And frankly, it doesn't "cost" that much to copy files from the internet and burn a CD. If that were the truth then the prices would be *much* lower.
Tess, if I were you or the professor I think I would contact the seller and ask them to stop. State that your scanned images are your copyright and the seller has no legal right to redistribute them.
Anita.... I'm not a copyright lawyer nor do I play one on TV
