That most certainly -- but that's because there's copyright laws that are independent of the contract you enter (or don't enter
) with the book seller.
It would be interesting to see how such 'contracts' are considered if one buys a public domain book with a non-duplication clause and starts making copies. Then the validity of the 'contract' could be tested -- but I don't know any cases (most likely because defendants would certainly win
).
