Where do you draw the line? I imagine that when a book maker sees a new good line from another book in a tournament game that he adds it to his own book. On the other end of the spectrum, someone could reverse engineer any opening book format, or play many games and get many of the lines from a book. The only differences I see are: 1. intent 2. manual vs. automated milking of another book Manual milking of a book seems to be acceptable because it can't occur at a fast enough rate to copy a large portion of another person's book. Or maybe it is possible if someone worked very hard, but then you get into the intent of that person.
