 My main intent was to remind us all that  there are copyright laws action over this one particular situation.  Like Mr. Berger said, "what is to stop people from photocopying and distributing Histology text books, manuals, and scientific papers, which are also protected under the same copyright laws?"

 
This is an interesting point.   Does this, copyright law, apply to books that are at the library?  For instance, what about reference books and other controlled literature that you are not able to check out?  Can you then make a photocopy of the articles or information and be within the law?   People make copies of procedures from books and manuals everyday.  Is there a fine line here?  How is this different from a instrument procedure manual?  I think we all need to have a law degree also:)
