What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
If you take really good notes from a textbook (or any book for that matter) -- to the point where the notes would clearly communicate key concepts from the book -- but you remember to cite the author of the book as the source, would it be copyright infringement to profit from those notes?
What if you were just sharing the notes with some people for free? Would that still be illegal?
What changes do you have to make to your notes (in terms of content or presentation) to make it legal to share them either for free or for profit?
