I am no lawyer but I have paid careful attention for quite a while to the use of copyrighted material
If you buy a cd, you can make a copy for personal use. He bought the book, he CAN copy it for personal use. If I try to sell that, it a violation. otherwise it is fair use if it is for my personal use.
