Background: I've been trying to complete my collection of original Traveller LBBs, and I am just missing the 4 special supplements that originally came with JTAS. I can find them as commercially available PDFs. I've been through the FAQs on DriveThruRPG and Mongoose but can't find an answer to my question, before I email Mongoose I was wondering if the answer might be found quicker here.
Can I legally send them to a print on demand outfit to print A5 with a card cover, replicating the originals? Just one copy for my own use. If I can, any UK based recommendations for print on demand services? Apologies to non-UK respondents, thank you for your help but I only want the UK legal position. Thanks in anticipation… |

It will depend upon the conditions of the licence you bought for the pdfs. For almost all digital products you buy a licence, a right to use the digital version in certain ways and with certain restriction. The licence specifies whether you can produce a physical version and what you can do with it. Most licences do not allow for the transfer of ownership of the licence, and its rights, to another party. It may permit the copying for private use by the licencee. You need to read the licence agreement that Mongoose sold you. this might help, but does not directly address creating a printed copy of a whole publication you have as a pdf: link |
