Reading books in public, copyright
<p>Can you read, not aloud, copyrighted material eg. Books, scientific papers in public eg bus, airplane, cafe,  where other people can potentially read it/take picture?  </p>

<p>Of course. Copyright law prevents you from making copies, and prevents others from making copies. It doesn’t oblige you to take extreme precautions against vague possibilities that others might break the law. </p>

<p>And reading is not considered “copying”. So you don’t have to prevent others from reading your books at all. </p>
