Was it a violation of intellectual property law to scan other people's unpublished books and give them to others for free? Which law did he violate?
Scanning someone else's unpublished book for free may violate China's copyright law. According to this law, without the permission of the copyright owner, no one can use the works of others by copying, distributing, renting, exhibiting, performing, showing, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc. Therefore, the act of privately scanning other people's unpublished books and sending them to others for free may be considered an violation of the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright owner. China's "copyright law" article 10 states: "copyright owners enjoy the right to their works in accordance with the law. Without the permission of the copyright owner, no one may violate his rights except for special circumstances." The 21st article states: " Using another person's work in the form of copying, distributing, renting, exhibiting, performing, screening, broadcasting, and information network transmission is an act that violates the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright owner." If you privately scan someone else's unpublished book and give it to someone else for free, it may cause legal disputes and losses.
