Re: Re: Authors Guild

Is it not a big difference between reading a book and copy it. To download a book in a computer is as I see it to make copies. Evry time you take up the downloaded book and look upon it you make a copy. Is that not against the solely right for the copyrightholder to have the exclusive right to decide when a new copy can be made or not?
