Can i photocopy a book/journal at a copy center?

[aphex]

Need to get about 30 pages from a journal.... Will normal copy centers (Target Copy/Kinkos) care about copyright issues? Should i just stick to the ones on campus?

30 pages falls under fair use for the most part.

Ever heard of fair use?

Until the MPAA and RIAA successfully lobby Congress to tighten copyright legislation, you can certainly copy material for academic purposes.

Unless you're doing something criminal like printing counterfeit money, I doubt a copy center would care. Esp. in the case of self-service.

If this is for academic purposes, you're ok.
Just don't go publishing your own magazine 🙂

Thinking about it. I'm interested in copyright law, patent law, and intellectual property 🙂
