A hypothetical question - how would you feel if someone hacked your books, wrote
a program that trawled the book comparing it to their own book, figuring out the
unique lines and allowed their engine to search and come up with a considered
response.  Is this legal?  Would you be happy about it?

I should say that I have no intention of doing this!

Regards,

Steve
