Wow! the "whichever is less" means that most of the time when we deal with a
book, it should be the 1000-word case, which is not much at all; but I like
it. I disagree with mass copying anyway.

That sounds great and respecting the right of the author. One time a
professor of mine did copy a few chapters from a book which was out of print,
but he requested permission from the original author and included the written
permission as the first page of the copy. I thought that was nice too.

students had to buy it. I'm sure that if you were the author of the book
you would agree that this is only fair. >>
Exactly!
