I have noticed quite a few people want to know where the "parallel import law" is written. Here is the place to start: United States Code Title 17- Copyrights The chapters of particular interest are: Section 101: Subject Matter and Scope of Copyright Section 201: Copyright Ownership and Transfer Section 301: Duration of Copyright Section 601: Manufacturing Requirement and Importation Essentially, what the code says is that you can import 1 copy of any title you wish to use for your own personal use. There are various exceptions for such things as Libraries & Religious Institutions. You should be able to find the United States Code in any refrence Library. Please note, I am not a lawyer, I am just pointing the way for other people who want to know where to look. -- -Dave datta@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu ....uwm!uwpvacs!datta uwpvacs.UUCP!datta@cs.wisc.edu
