Based on the copyright scanning pages of any book is not illegal, re-selling the content without the author's permission its illegal, making a bot it illegal, your reading the costumers memory, you're reading the program memory, you're injecting into the developers code, you're sending packages and reading them, not to mention making a bot is a form of piracy, but then again i live in Mexico changes are ,im not gonna be screwed over anything

Copyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United States, the fair use doctrine, codified by the Copyright Act of 1976 as 17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without permission of the copyright holder or payment to same. The statute does not clearly define fair use, but instead gives four non-exclusive factors to consider in a fair use analysis. Those factors are:
the purpose and character of your use
the nature of the copyrighted work
what amount and proportion of the whole work was taken, and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.[31]
Later acts amended
US Copyright law so that for certain purposes making 10 copies or more is construed to be commercial, but there is no general rule permitting such copying. Indeed making one complete copy of a work, or in many cases using a portion of it, for commercial purposes will not be considered fair use. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits the manufacture, importation, or distribution of devices whose intended use, or only significant commercial use, is to bypass an access or copy control put in place by a copyright owner.[16] An appellate court has held that fair use is not a defense to engaging in such distribution.
+ the book is from the year 2010, which is outdated and therefor since i only made 1 copy and a part 1 of the whole work in the book is not illegal at all, + in Mexico you can make several copies as long as you don't profit from them
Companies take them down because they could hold the entire copy of a book in several users, and then they will be pressed charges or just taken like the megaupload BS
