With all due respect, statements like this, which I see all the time, are what make copyright law a joke. A copy is a copy. The author's rights are being trampled on either way. I believe the entire system needs to be revamped from top to bottom. From a copyright office that would probably register the filing of dollar bill, to the exorbitant cost of enforcing rights in Federal court the system is too complicated. It does not work.
