You're wrong, Tompe is right.
Back before copyright laws, if someone possessed a copy of scroll, that person could pay the wages of a scribe to have a copy made of that scroll. You could make a copy because it was naturally assumed that since the scroll was your property, you could do with it as you wish. Ever since copyright laws were invented, this is no longer true.
