http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/08/books/08girl.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1 According to this New York Times article, it appears that it is not actually a copyright violation, but that booksellers would damage their relationship with publishers. I think it might also be argued that it is a copyright violation because Knopf owns the rights to market the book in the US. I am not a copyright guru, but I believe it would be OK for individuals to purchase the book for personal use, but not for resale. Calling Carol Simpson!
