Copying an existing work in its entirety to make a profit destroys business that is based on creating these works and causes writers and artists to lose their motivation. However, on the other hand, we believe it to be a fact that quotations and references allow many more people to come in contact with these works and spur creative activity. So that the fear of committing an illegal act does not have a chilling effect on your behavior, we want to clarify that, at the least, we are not thinking of prohibiting the above actions.
We at Book Cloud would like to collaborate and cooperate with everyone who gathers here to make a modest contribution to further cultural development.
