This sort of вЂcrimeвЂ™ only pays if you arenвЂ™t particularly successful. And if he were to make millions from this effect, they would most certainly catch up with him. If you disliked BB enough you could report him, but I always think life is too short for that sort of thing. I have no clue about Random House or whoever owns the books used in this particular case I believe Disney protect themselves well. So you will see вЂrealвЂ™ books that have been modified for BT, but if they are not in public domain вЂ“ then the creator could get sued.ДЄgain for a small run magic trick вЂ“ it might be unlikelyД«ut it dependsвЂ¦ I know the company that owns Peppa Pig are very quick to send cease and desist letters and then sue people. I think the misunderstanding might be that the sensible people but want to use real recognisable books for BT вЂ“ use ones that are public domain. Now not only are the books modified вЂ“ they are also being repurposed into working as BT You would have people taking sad stories and making them have happy endings.

You can do what you want with your own property. If you don't sell it on - for personal use, that's fine. Now imagine you bought a Harry Potter book, and changedвЂ¦ three sentences. If you were to write your own book and use the characters from Harry Potter - you would obviously get sued Sorry - not meaning to come across as rude. So you are correct that nothing will happenД«ut it is definitely not legal to take someoneвЂ™s book вЂ“ and change it in any way to then sell it on The ones that never make any money donвЂ™t get sued/noticed If you added your own вЂmusicвЂ™ or in any way sampled any tracks from Rubber Soul вЂ“ then you would be in trouble Д®xcept itвЂ™s on a small enough scale вЂ“ that nobody is likely to bother suing over thisД«ut if BB went on to make millions from this вЂ“ then he would lose all the money вЂ“ itвЂ™s the same as various tracks that use samples. If you bought the Beatles Album Rubber Soul, you could sell it again no problems. If itвЂ™s easier to understand, think of it this wayвЂ¦ Now the original copyright holder needs to give you permissionвЂ¦ you may need to pay themвЂ¦ or offer them a percentageвЂ¦ You can sell that book second hand for ВЈ100 вЂ“ no problemsвЂ¦ but if you sold it after having вЂaddedвЂ™ something to it вЂ“ now you have a problem. ItвЂ™s because he has altered them, because he is selling them for a different purpose, because he has used them in his own вЂ“ that he has broken certain rules/laws
