Wow, that's hard to believe.  If this is so, then all second-hand book 
stores are illegal.  While it wouldn't be financially feasible for one 
author to go after one seller of one copy of his/her book, a class 
action suit by all authors against all used-book stores would surely be 
worth pursuing!
