I had a dream last night that the book was released already, and I was thinking that it was waaay early.

Ooh! I just had an idea!
While reading Alcatraz 2....

Quote

The Worldspire is said by the Free Kingdomers to be the exact center of the world. It's a massive glass spike running from the upper atmosphere directly into the center of the planet -- whic is, of course, made of glass. Isn't everything?

Later (I can't find it now), it says that "Of course, I only saved the world because I put it in danger in the first place"

Now this may be him losing the Lenses of Rashid, or he mightt just somehow break the world spire!
(unlikely, yes, but it's just an idea)

Oh, and I think that Alcatraz I lens might make Occulators for those that use it (Bastille)?

The breaking of the world spire has been theorized off and on quite a few times.

That would be cool. I think that Bastille will become an occulator at SOME point in the series. Al likes to lie to us, and he made a BIG deal about her NOT becoming one, so I think she will. ha ha.

Everyone thinks Bastille should become and Oculator. We just don't know how yet.

Ookla, I wish your dream was a reality. I want that book!!!

I know!!! That person is SO lucky. I wish he/she would sell it on ebay.

Miyabi · « **Reply #232 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:03:36 PM »

That would be against the law.

Bastille · « **Reply #233 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:27:38 PM »

yeah I know. I can wait though! waiting............

It would be legal according to the First Sale doctrine. What wouldn't be legal would be copying it.

Miyabi · « **Reply #235 on:** May 08, 2009, 03:40:52 AM »

It would? o.O I thought it wouldn't because it hasn't been officially released yet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

Quote

The doctrine allows the purchaser to transfer (i.e., sell or give away) a particular lawfully made copy of the copyrighted work without permission once it has been obtained. This means that the copyright holder's rights to control the change of ownership of a particular copy end once that copy is sold, as long as no additional copies are made.

(Note: Receiving a gift, or winning something in a contest, counts the same as buying something under the law.)

It doesn't matter that it hasn't been released yet.

Wow, that's pretty intense. I had no idea.

Bastille · « **Reply #238 on:** May 08, 2009, 10:35:13 AM »

Yeah. Nether did I.

Of course, if you want to stay on Brandon's good side, you don't do anything that will tick him off. It would be a betrayal of trust. Just not technically illegal. If you've signed an NDA then contract law gets involved, but that's a civil matter rather than a criminal one.
