I don't think that what I said was any more insulting than the remark made about student lawyers. And I'd argue that you are not acting on behalf of all the people.

That's my point, that you can get all upset that I make a snide remark, but its perfectly ok for you to do the same to me. I'm offering a suggestion that benefits all those on this site. In that regard it's acting in the interests of the all the people here. It's certainly not acting in my own interest as you suggested.

I take your point that a publisher could go after this website for posting excerpts. Any law can be fought on any grounds. Would they though? For what reason?

You prepared to put your money on that. I'd be prepared to put up my portion yes.

Its a shame that an educational idea is shot down due to nothing but fear. It seems no one wants to even consider trying it or even researching a little more to see if it is feasible. But I guess that's what we live with these days.

There's nothing stopping you from doing the research, but you seem like the sort of person who wants someone else to do the work, take the chances and then hand over the benefits to you on a silver platter. LOL again with the insults, you are basing this on what? You don't know anything about me.Talk about "tosh" what a hypocrite you are. So far the idea wont even be considered, because of fear of what might happen, even though we would have the law on our side. Why would I bother doing any other research at this point?

As for the comment. He made such a big deal about how he is studying law, which was irrelevant because as he said he hasn't studied copyright law. So what was the purpose of even mentioning it, other than in a chest puffing. "I know more than you" exercise, so common on internet forums. Lawyers, like writers have to develop a thick skin.

What a load of tosh!

Oh btw, it's clear this will never go anywhere, so I wont be wasting my time responding to anymore pointless comments on this thread. Have a nice day.
