aht-ga,
You did a great job in answering the question with ID: 295219. I am
selling Int'l edition book and recently got mail from publishers
accusing me of refringing their copyright(below attached a case
quoted). I have 2 questions:
1. Is there update on the laws you quoted?
2. I am a student in VA. From where I can get legal advice at affordable price?
