Apparently, it's not legal to possess ebooks without possessing the physical book. (So you can't pass down a flash drive full of ebooks to the M1s.) Also (see here), it's not legal to possess ebooks even if you have the physical book and didn't separately purchase the ebook, or scan the entire book yourself. Is this correct? Please show me where to find the law--no amount of internet searching let me find the relevant policies.
If I've got the right information, then medical students are either ignorant of the law or ignore it a lot. (Most of my classmates have multiple ebooks from previous classes, or share logins to question banks.) I tend to think that breaking the law is not moral, and this is a poor way to begin a life in medicine. Am I wrong?
