Pierce Piano Atlas

[Porritt, David]

You can indeed tell someone what you read in a book.  That is the only
purpose of the book.  You just can't copy it - that right belongs to the
holder of the copyright!  You can't republish it in any way, though you
can cite small excerpts with attribution.  The flap over copyright came
up because someone scanned the whole book and published it to the list.
That's a clear violation of the copyright laws.

Is there not a significant difference between telling someone something
you read in a book . . . . 

and trying to sell it and pass it off as your own . . .

 

The later would be the copyright issue . .

Happily telling customers the age of their piano . . maybe I should make
them buy the book ???

	I guess I missed that!  But I did search the archives to find
the very threatening letter by Mr. Ashley.  And that's all it was.  It's
been more than 12 days and I am still finding Atlas information in the
archives, from 1999!  You guys better comply!

	 

	If you can't post the year on the list, then you may e-mail me
privately.  Giving me the year is no different than letting your
customers know the age of their piano.  You are not infringing on the
copyright by giving the year.  But I did see in the archives where some
people here were giving actual information compiled and written in the
Atlas.

	 

	If you cannot give me the year due to copyright, then we had
better erase that information from our client database systems!

		Mr Todd,
		I guess you missed the legal copyright notification
posted here by none other than the Pierce publisher that we ain't s'pose
ta' be postin' copyrighted info like that here on the list. Check the
archives. It was a coupla months back. It was big. Very annoying. Let's
not start that again.
