 < back to full question list < back to academic authors question list < back to textbook authors question list Q: "I just discovered that illegal copies of the solution manual to my textbook are being sold on half.com, which is associated with eBay. These copies are in pdf format and are a blatant violation of copyright laws. I discovered that some of our students are passing around pdf copies of the solution manual, and it is likely that many students now have copies. This is obviously a much more serious situation than selling illegal copies of the textbook itself. What can be done to stop the illegal sales of the solutions manual? To what extent can eBay be held liable for knowingly facilitating the sale of illegal copies of copyrighted books? Is there an attorney out there who would be willing to take on this case on a contingency fee basis? Would it be appropriate for TAA to investigate illegal sales of solutions manuals? I am sure that this problem goes far beyond my textbook. A class action suit might be appropriate."
