My Bolton download

[MOMFUDSKI]

worked until this morning. I had read 27 pages of the pdf and went to my saved sites and had a Google hoohoo come up stopping me from accessing that pdf. Anybody else have that happen?

1. Well it was illegal.

So they blocked it, as they should.

[Danmel]

2. Yup.

Gone.

3. You didn't download it, you accessed it and read it online.

If you'd downloaded it, Google wouldn't have anything to say about it, since it would be on your computer.

5. I downloaded a copy and transfered a copy of that to my Fire tablet.

Still there. Haven't checked the copy I downloaded to my laptop yet.

7. +1. "The world's largest ebook library"

8. Yep. I was surprised it took so long. I'll wait until it shows up in the thrift shops for a buck ...

As to the weeing over copyright: I buy almost all my reading and the biggest part of my music in resale. How does that help the copyright holder?

9. The copyright holder receives their remuneration the first time the work was sold

A copyright is literally "the right to copy" meaning the copyright holder can reproduce the underlying work and sell the physical copy. Once the physical document is bought and paid for, that particular copy of the document is owned by the person who bought it and they can transfer it to others however they choose. They can't reproduce the underlying work - for example, they can't reprint the book or large portions of its content and sell it, but they can sell the physical item without violating the copyright laws.

The same thing goes for other items like paintings, records, etc.

10. I downloaded it to my hard drive

It is fine. I know they took down from the site but many of us still have our copies.
