Simple “makng available” of a work with copyrights is thoroughly unavoidable. Just take into account these few examples:

- Lending a computer to someone. Any computer is full of copyrighted works. The someone who boroows the coputer can easily copy anything.

- Placing a magazine near a photocopier. Surely someone will see something of interest and proceed to make a copy.

- Lensing or routing a newsletter as is done in most offices. Surely someone will see something of interest and proceed to make a copy.

- Placing an mp3 file on a web page. Surely many will download it and copy it to friends. Some of these will be found in my web page and surely many people copy the even though we specifically do not authorize copying. We cannot, however ignore human nature, so copying is expected because we make the files available.

As I said, “makng available” of a work with copyrights is thoroughly unavoidable and any published work is made available at the moment the work is published and distributed on any medium.

What I woder is why this playing of games in the legal business.
