Though they probably would win. There is a substantial amount of US case law to that effect. Much of it involves coping other types of copyrighted material (e.g. photographs), but the same rules would apply to books. Even in situations where you might have the right to make a copy, a 3rd party has no right to do it for you, whether for free or for profit.
