It's that legal to take photo from the book inside the library?
Today I went to National library - Reference section, which the books are not allow to borrow, so I took pic using my handphone for reference use, then suddently one of the librarian came to me saying take pic from the book is againts the copyright in SG, here we got color copying machine, u can do the hardcopy print out but no digital copy allow.
I was thinking wtf?
Laser color copy is legal inside library, but my low resolution digital copy it's illegal?
She was order me to delete all the images I took on the spot, I'm very upset & doubt what she said was not true, where got ppl pay $$$ to do color copy in the library if he can do a free photo shooting?

Its the piracy law lah.
You copy some one else's work.. without paying. Is against the law already.
Copying in library.. if I am not wrong.. also cannot copy more than certain allowable % of the book.
The library already allow you to read the book for free in the premise, why must you be so cheapskate go and take digital photograph ?
Even if you want to use someone else's work .. as long as you benefit from it... you must pay royalty ok ? Good.

just follow the rules la..
goodness...

It's plagiarism ma.
You know what is plagiarism? Go and google it.
And yes jojo is right. Even if you photocopy or what, you can only photocopy a certain amount, like eg. 60%.
Next time hor, want to take picture with your phone or camera, you do it secretly la.
You can do whatever illegal stuffs you want, just dont get caught and it's all fine yo.

The ones that I come across most often is as follows, most uni libraries follow the same:
- a chapter of a book or 5 per cent of a book, whichever is longer
- one complete article from a journal issue
- a maximum of ten pages of a poem, short story, or other short literary work, taken from a volume of short stories or poems
- up to 10% (maximum 20 pages) per short book (without chapters), report, pamphlet, or standard specification
- one separate illustration, diagram, photograph or map up to A4 size (but, if this is an integral part of an article or chapter, it may be included in the extracts identified above)
The librarian was wary of you coz she dunno how many pics you took beforehand mah. Maybe you took 3 whole chapters in a seperate memory card already leh? Who knows right?

Eh.. Cameras are just deterrance.
But do we have to encourage criminal behaviors ? Nope.
Like I said already.. library already let you read it for free.
Why can't we just respect the authors who do not wish to have their works treated with such disrespect ?

And if we see books/magazines with missing pages, we know who to look for on this forum.
