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!

An e book is just an electronic version of the printed one so I would think if you edit it you would be doing something wrong just as if you quote it as your own you are plagiarizing. I think you would be changing what the author intended and that would be a compromise of his work and if you were caught I believe he could sue you for damages.

Usually, you have a license that allows you to read and possess the electronic version of the book.
