She was not kicked out of the store. She was told to stop copying.

I agree with Boris and Chris.
I think a lot of us were a little taken aback by the sense of entitlement exhibited by a bunch of bloggers – not a “real” journalists, mind you. You know, the kind that gets paid by a reputable employer, and has a budget to actually purchase research material. I don’t necessarily have a problem with blogs or bloggers, but I don’t think that the world (and Indigo) owes you free material, when someone working for a real publication would just go out and buy the book!

By that line of thinking, anyone can start thier own blog, walk into a store and copy unpurchased material, and cry foul when the retailer asks them to stop.

I’m with Boris, just buy the book, copy it out of the store and return it. Most stores give at least a week to return items. This doesn’t help the author much in the end but it will help the bookstores respect the law in regards to the creative material that they are responsible for maintaining. She can still continuing spying and stalking people like a nosey neighbour while infringing on any government acts in the privacy of her own home.

hey julie – do the industry a big favour and buy the book – a simple transcaction that is a real benefit to the publisher, author and the store where your “research” is being conducted.
