[sdiy] A useful distinction

[Aaron Lanterman]

Ah, the "selling" is a key word:

1) Making a copy of anything, in print or not, and _selling it_ without 
permission from and providing compensation to the author

is very different than

2) Making a copy of an out-of-print book for personal use

One might argue about (2), but (1) is clearly evil.
