So are you going to be the one to enforce this? NaClH2O Send a noteboard - 22/09/2009 12:03:16 PM
Surely the idea of making reviewers provide proof that they do actually have the book would put this issue to rest once and for all while also ensuring that the site only offers genuine reviews?

Are you willing to be the one who makes sure the poster actually has a pre-release copy? Or are you just willing to make more work for someone else? If you are actually willing to do the actual work, how pray tell will you do that? What kind of proof can the reviewers provide? Scanned copyright page? anybody can fake those. ISBN #? already published. Get real man.

The ones who would have committed the copyright infringement would be the ones distributing the book, not the ones reading it. Someone can't violate copyright just by reading and reviewing a book, at least from what I know. (If I rented a movie, made a copy of it, and gave it to a friend, I would be violating copyright. If I rented a movie and invited a friend over to watch it with me, though, I wouldn't be violating copyright, nor would I be if I were the friend who was invited over.)

Umm...You ever heard of Napster? All it would take would be one quote from the book and TOR would be completely within it's rights to shut RAFO down. Are YOU personally willing to be legally responsible for something that someone posts here? Sorry but I'm not. And sure, anybody at any time can post anything here. But by providing a spot for pirates to post what they want, the situation changes to "abetting and encouraging".
