Can you provide an exegesis of this wonderfully opaque passage from the judgement?
It happens in law that footprints of one concept fall in the territory of other but that does not mean that the former should be restricted.."[3]
I suspect that this is a translation of some proverb which has richness not rendered in the translation.

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Illegal copies of your book
Dear Gillian
It's not an unpopular opinion at all.
The High Court at New Delhi, India considered these issues and said it's perfectly legal for a teacher to PHOTOCOPY or REPRODUCE chapters of over-priced/unaffordable/expensive foreign textbooks for the benefit of their students, AND that no royalty is to be paid to the book publishers.The exceptionally well reasoned decision was upheld by the Supreme Court of India after the book publishers withdrew their appeals.

I'll put this out their as I suspect a unpopular opinion. It's be been my unfortunate experience teachers want ridiculously expensive specialty books. The most egregious was some prof for a management class that thought it'd be a good idea to drop 700 dollars on a book. Most of the class except some brown-noser agreed. He did EVENtUALLY relent to do case-studies inlue of the book. IMO I got more out of reading and writing about actually cases of successful and unsuccessful management from real life than a 700 dollar book
When people wonder why books get pirated. That's probably why.

Yes. libgen is a mirror site for libgen.io that has everything on it. It gets taken down every once in a while. They lost a suit from the publishers but being located in Eastern Europe that doesn’t help. When I first went to the site, it asked me to turn off my add blocker so THEY could make some money. Then I looked at their donation tab and the only way to donate was via bitcoin or an Eastern European credit card.
Students tell me they all know about the site.

Ed,
FYI: The latest edition that I see on the Israeli version of the pirate site (libgen.is) is the 7th.
