Custom Copies, Inc., prepares and sells course-packs, which contain compilations of readings for college courses. A teacher selects the readings and delivers a syllabus to the copy shop, which obtains the materials from a library, copies them, and binds the copies. Blackwell Publishing, Inc., which owns the copyright to some of the materials, filed a suit, alleging copyright infringement. [Blackwell Publishing, Inc. v. Custom Copies, Inc., 2006 WL 1529503 (N.D.Fla. 2006)] (Cross & Miller, 2018, p. 169)

• Custom Copies argued, in part, that creating and selling did not "distribute" the course-packs. Does a copy shop violate copyright law if it only copies materials for course-packs? Does the copying fall under the "fair use" exception? Should the court grant the defendant's motion? Why or why not?
• What is the potential impact if copies of a book or journal are created and sold without the permission of, and the payment of royalties or a fee to, the copyright owner? Explain.
