Like when I buy a second hand book and then I start printing copies of the book and selling them without any agreement with the original author or publisher?

Like when you buy or sell a second hand book without getting permission from the copyright holder to distribute their copyrighted material, which would otherwise be necessary.

  • It doesn't scale as well if I only have a single copy and don't make more. I daresay it won't be commercially viable.
