Do you mean legally possible?  I believe that applies only to items you
own.  Others would undoubtedly fall under the "fair use" provisions, at
least that's what I recall from those "reminder" sheets stuck up next to
the photocopiers in the library.  The gist of it, from what I remember,
is that it is okay to copy parts of a book, say, but not the entire
thing.

Maybe Theo the librarian could chime in, here?

Cheers,

Paul.
