Important Notice Please Read As a result of having some books I have uploaded removed due to “... a result of a third-party notification that it holds the copyright and has not given permission for it to appear on Scribd.com....” or “...classified as being a breach of copyright...” Which I must add that the particular document that was in question was in fact a public domain document. I have removed all books of which I own, except my own personal writings. I even removed all books that were: 1. Creative commons licensing 2. Public Domain or 3. I had permission to share I have not once claimed to be the author of any book I had uploaded and never requested any kind of monetary or profit in regards to these books. I had uploaded all previous books which I could lawfully do under the following conditions of Fair Use: 1. 2. 3. 4.
The materials were not amended or changed in any way I did not claim to be the author of said documents The materials were supplied as a means of research or study only The materials were not used for profiteering
As I am the owner of the documents I have the right to share or loan them to others. Which is the same right if they were in hard format. eg. Giving a book as a gift. As there are many people who can easily assess the Internet but not have easy assess to book stores or libraries I was in fact offering a non-profit option for many people. Many people also do not have the funds to purchase many books and if they are after a particular book there are often times when the book in question is cannot be sourced from a library due to: 1. Not available 2. Not in the library catalog 3. Has not been returned The documents that I have personally deleted or had been deleted by Scribd have also been seen on other people's profiles. I had questioned about these, especially about a set of books in particular, as the ones that I had uploaded were deleted some time ago and yet
I had seen the same documents on others profiles that had been there for over 6 months or more. This does not show an equal continuum of policies being upheld. For this reason alone I will not be uploading many documents any more, including my own writings. Thank you to all who have read all past uploaded documents.
