Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Tennessee
''Selling the right to look at my books on line''
I have a collection of year books. Are there any copyright issues if I put those books on the internet and charge a fee for people to look through them? No one will be able to download the books and they are my personal books that I have purchased.

If the books have been previously copyrighted you may not use them during the copyright period without the consent of the copyright holder. If they are not copyrighted, or the copyright has expired, then they are in the public domain and you are free to use them as you wish, as is anyone else.
