And how about when you purchase an issue through a back issues dealer?
How can you know the original source and how is was paid?  It is not
uncommon for me to receive a journal donation from someone who is cleaning
out or moving an office.  I frequently send these on to the back issues
dealer.  If I purchase a replacement copy that may have originated from a
personal subscription, am I violating copyright law?  It seems that it is
really no different than the situation below where it comes from someone
you know received a personal subscription.  Very interesting topic.

Could those of you that have attended courses that have told you that
copying of donated items violates copyright, please respond to the list
with the organization or teacher contact information?

Thank you very much.
