I've been rather amazed to receive a request from a US university (unnamed to preserve its blushes) for permission to print out "Theory in information behaviour research", bind it and make it available for loan, so that students can borrow it. Had this request come from a third world country I might have been sympathetic, but we are talking about a book that costs about the same as a meal at McDonalds - would going without lunch for a day really be so bad? The nature of the request suggests that the enquirer knows little about copyright and the notion of "fair" use.
