Is this really a violation of copyright?  If I have a copy of a  
journal I believe
it is within the compass of ``fair practice'' (or some such jargon)  
to make a photocopy
of a particular article and give this copy to a colleague or student  
for research
purposes.  Likewise I believe it is ``fair practice'' for me to send  
a copy of a pdf
file (that I have legitimately acquired) to a colleague or student  
for research
purposes.

It always gets fussy and fiddly whenever legal issues arise.  It  
would be nice if there
were no such thing as ``intellectual property'' (which has always  
seemed to me to be
an oymoron) and no such thing as lawyers.

	cheers,
