Post by thread:[PIC]: document dismantling, was Breaking Code Pro

We have been notified of a requirement relating to copyright law here in the UK which changes soon (1 March IIRC) where it is no longer valid to copy an article under "reasonable use" provisions where the use is commercial. Even though the company owns a copy of the journal, a further copyright fee is payable for a photocopy. I would think that "pulling pages" from a PDF could be covered under this as well. Now given that no fee is payable as the document is published on a website is a side issue to this, the company wants to keep the document complete and intact, which is not unreasonable. I have left this under [PIC], but any further discussion along this line should probably go [OT] -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
