hey quick question here for you guys:
Im thinking of gathering an email list by sending people who submit their email address on my site a .pdf book (scanned version of a copyrighted book being sold on amazon, and others.. its kind of a popular book). Can I get in trouble doing this ? I know this sounds dumb at first but ive got a couple reasons to think it could be safe :
1) The .pdf book is available on direct download on the first google results that you get by typing the name of the book + pdf as keyword. (Normally you can only download .pdf books via torrents, because im guessing most direct download sites get taken down) In this case there are at least 3 sites offering direct download (and big ones).
2) The author of the book is dead (been a while)
What do you think? anyway I can get in trouble?
thanks
