So you can't, for example, photocopy the book 150 times and sell the photocopies.
There are some additional issues with digital media, where publishers try to protect themselves in terms of licensing rather than selling but even there, the "you bought a CD, but only have permission to use its contents" is one of the baselines.
I dont plan on selling photocopies, nor do I plan on making money. Everything earned, if any, will go towards the purchase of more stuff or to replace lost or stolen stuff. Ill have to research this a little more obviously when the time comes, but I just thought it would be great for flight students/CFI's to have access to material since we spend so much for training already.
