FAQ
Q: Can I make a copy for a teacher so she can photocopy from the photocopy for her stu-
dents?
A: Photocopying from a photocopy of this book is known as a pirate copy and is illegal. Isn’t it
better just to purchase the book with photocopy permission for less than $50?
Q: Can I borrow this book from a resource centre or library, then photocopy it?
A: No, that would be copyright violation. You only get a photocopy license if you purchase the
book or your school has purchased site photocopy permission.
