They aren't different at all as far as copyright infringement is concerned, money does not matter. Oh, and if you're going to call me stupid, just do it and stop dancing around about it.

If there is an item on the shelf of a store with a sign on it that says "Free: Take one.", how much responsibility does the shopper have to verify that the store is the one that put the sign there and not some other person. Still, I'm sure there are plenty of flaws in that analogy as well. Infringement and theft are fundamentally different, you can't really make a useful analogy between them. |

IMO, probably. That's the reason they removed all of the content, they are hoping it will help them avoid prosecution. |

Directly from the qualifications for safe harbor of a service provider: "does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity" YouTube -- no direct financial benefit Amazon -- direct financial benefit I'm not sure how it could be any more clear.

Anthem, $.99, a Fictionwise Classic, multiformat; 19508 words--eReader (PDB) [62 KB]. Anthem, $7.99, Penguin/Dutton adult, Secure eReader/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader--SECURE MICROSOFT READER FORMAT [529 KB] I wonder if they'd be willing to answer questions about the differences between the two. When I have a choice between to pbooks in a store, I can tell if one has a nicer layout or better paper or more-recent cover, or an intro by a famous person, or whatever. Are formatting differences involved, and pictures... or does the DRM really add almost 500kb to the file? FW doesn't tell you what the difference between the editions is. |

[Edit: According to Wikipedia, "A 50th Anniversary Edition was published in 1995 including an appendix which reproduces the entire original British edition with Ayn Rand's handwritten editorial changes." Maybe this is what is being sold by Fictionwise?] Last edited by Daithi; 10-06-2009 at 06:34 PM. |
