Sorry Faust, I blew it.   I should have clarified my point about de minimis usage (which clearly does not apply to the copying of an entire text in any case).  The doctrine of fair use applies, but de minimis usage is inapposite.  I was trying to say (and failed utterly to do so)  that one could reproduce _parts_ of text provided the use was limited and appropriate.  I think I should have left the point out entirely, or structured my post better.

Note, however, that I did concur with your general tone and intent, which seemed to be saying that the person in question probably shouldn't be soliciting others to send him full electronic copies, particularly not if he's planning on compiling things for either distribution or personal use.
