body: I have taken a book from my university's library and it states in the second page :
  
  
  
  > 
  > The law of March 11, 1957 authorizes only "copies or reproductions strictly reserved for the private use of the copier and not intended for collective use".
  >  Any representation or reproduction, in whole or in part, made without the consent of the publisher, is unlawful.
  > 
  > 
  > 
  
  
  It is a book written in french and a french address containing "Paris" figures in the same page so this is probably a french law.
  Any of you have an idea on whether this law is still up or not?  
  
  This allows me to take photos I guess but I am not sure on the validity of the law as I stated in the last phrase.
