[bksvol-discuss] Re: Copyright question

Hi Gerald,
 
I have two complete and one almost complete Robert Jordan WOT books - none of 
which are on the list as far as I can see. I have completed "The Dragon Reborn" 
and "The Great Hunt". I have almost completed "The Shadow Rising". I have 
scanned up to chapter 46. I now don't have a scanner :( so I can't complete it.
 
All of these are in excellent condition as I always go over my scans when doing 
stuff for my husband. 
 
If you are interested in completing the "Shadow Rising" chapters, I can combine 
them with what I've done already.
 
Feel free to email me off the group.
 
Regards,
Lea

To prevent Gustavo from kicking the books back to the Step 1 page for lack of 
information, do the copyright research ahead of time for him, but explain what 
you 've done in the comments.  You should be able to find the copyrights for 
the books you've mentioned at the U.S. Copyright Office's website: 
http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html.  The only reason for a paperback to 
have a different copyright than the original book (if the paperback isn't the 
original printing) that I know of would be for the paperback to contain 
additional uncopyrighted material which would occur if the book is a newer 
version or edition of the book., and I don't know that you would find that with 
Jordan's books or the other book you mentioned..
 
BTW, what are the titles of the Robert Jordan books you've scanned?  I have 
been considering scanning a few of his Wheel of Time books which Bookshare is 
missing because I had seen the series listed on the Wish List at one point 
early this year.  The two times I had started to scan book 2 in the series, the 
internet said it was available just priort to my going to the library, but one 
time someone had checked out the only available copy in that short time and the 
other time the library was not able to find the  book on the shelves or any 
where else they could think to look.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Copyright question


Hello everyone,
 
I have just downloaded book to validate and I have a question on the copyright. 
It is very brief and I'm not sure if it is acceptable. At the top of the scan 
this information is given:
 
Georges, E. (1990). The Making of a Transnational Community: Migration, 
Development, and Cultural Change in the Dominican Republic. New York: Columbia 
University Press.

Is that enough information to be considered a full copyright? If so, this book 
looks pretty good and I will accept it - if not, then I will reject it.

On the same issues of copyright - I scanned several Robert Jordan books for my 
husband a few years ago. I scanned the paperback copies, which I've long since 
sold off since we also have all the hard back copies. Because I was scanning 
them purely for his use, I did not scan the copyright pages. My question is - I 
don't suppose it's appropriate to copy the copyright information for the hard 
back books onto the scans that I made of the paperbacks, is it?

Thanks in advance,

Lea
