Send me your invoices,

Hey JJ!, can I send you one even if I was wrong!?

Bingley and Bean are reading the 'letter' of the law and read that way, choice 2 is exactly what is specified in the words.

The question is, who is the law written for?
If written to protect the interests of the author, then choice 1 is it.

If written to help disseminate information, choice 2 is it.

If it is trying to be equitable and aid both parties, then choice 3 should be it. It seems unfair that the simple matter of a chaptered book should benefit either party to the obvious disadvantage of the other. This way, the ten percent rule could be maintained, even for a chaptered book, could it not?

Legally speaking, would Choice 3 be right in the spirit of the law?
