can any one tell me how can i read books online?
When you want to read a book online and the book is under copyright, check the author’s web page and see if she is giviing it away for free. I checked and she isn’t. Yes there are pirate websites out there that steal books from authors. Don’t deal with them because that makes you a thief too! An author deserves a chance to make a living. See what the law has to say on it: In a civil suit, an infringer may be liable for a copyright owner’s actual damages plus any profits made from the infringement. Alternatively, the copyright owner may avoid proving actual damage by electing a statutory damage recovery of up to $30,000 or, where the court determines that the infringement occurred willfully, up to $150,000. The actual amount will be based upon what the court in its discretion considers just. (17 U.S.C. 504) Violation of copyright law is also considered a federal crime when done willfully with an intent to profit.
