I don't think so. If it were left to the whim of the author, they could
write: "Under no circumstances may anyone opening this book read and commit
to memory any portion of this book." if they so desired. I really think the
copyright law speaks to the "fair use" issue that Chris has spoken of. If
not, then here are my wrists--cuff me, copyright police!
Surely I have transgressed your Fascist directive to not spread knowledge and
education amongst the young people of the world! 8^)
