They all carry the risk that they will consider it "not sufficient" or something and file charges against you anyway.<br /><br />AFAICT there is no way to get the police to "pre-approve" some behaviour as legal. Thus the only way to be sure is to follow the law to the letter. Especially since this is a free time hobby project with zero resources.<br /><br />It's not really something I want to do, but sadly there are no real alternatives.Jussihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370287682352908292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968355124473522212.post-47618323449735134882019-05-16T14:29:27.217+03:002019-05-16T14:29:27.217+03:00How about the tangible value being early access to...How about the tangible value being early access to the book, which would be a competitive advantage?

But the title is entirely incorrect, it's not illegal.<br /><br />E.g. if you change your house you usually need to get a permit from the city. If you don't get that permit it doesn't mean changing your house is illegal, just that you need a permit.Olavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315812426732221936noreply@blogger.com
