is it illegal to sell other peoples ebooks?
Posted by admin | Filed under Law & Ethics
I was just wondering if it was illegal to sell other peoples ebooks for 50 cents each on a website? I would get the money, they get the ebook, no problem right? I did not pay for the ebooks and that made me think that i shouldn’t sell them, its a continuous sell so it would be copies of the ebook.

I have recently divorced my husband. His mother is a relationship counselor (irony noted.) She has an e-book which she is selling and has used a wedding picture as the cover. She has not asked me if it is ok. Is this legal? Could I sue her?

For example, if I write a book entitled, “How to Rob a Liquor Store” and explain in precise details what steps need to be taken to achieve this, can I be fined? That’s not going to be the title of my book, btw.

What rights does a purchaser of an e-book have?
Posted by admin | Filed under Law & Ethics
If I purchase an e-book with resale rights, I know I have the ability to resell the e-book. However, am I allowed to edit the e-book before I sell it? What rights do I have as a purchaser to use, modify, distribute and/or sell the e-book that I have purchased?
Thank you!

Whats the difference between that and selling used tangible books and CD’s? I am not taking credit for the ebook, nor am I selling it, although it can be downloaded. Whats the difference?
How safe is it to have print outs of cracked versions of ebooks in developed countries?
Posted by admin | Filed under Law & Ethics
My friend has cracked versions of ebooks (the books that you usually buy but can also download from internet for free from few sites). He wants to have their print outs. He is planning to take them as reference when he will visit Australia. I want to know whether it is safe for him to have them with him?
Are there chances that the airport authority will check his bags to know what is in there even if they are a few pages?
Will he get punished if they come to know of those print outs?
Can I read a copyrighted e-book downloaded from the internet for learning purposes only ?

I really cannot afford the cost of the book, so can I download it and read it.
Or this is illegal ?

If i have a local library in my area that provide the books, i wouldn’t have asked the question at all.
