If anybody can point me to where I can find Philo’s “Special Laws”, online in Greek, or has a paper copy that they can scan a particular portion for me, please let me know.

Aber mit der Heimat

Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

Almighty God, you search us and know us: may we rely on you in strength and rest on you in weakness, now and in all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God’s Word
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:1-3, ESV)

If there is no on-line text, then scanning a portion of a printed text will be theft. Although Philo is no longer around to enjoy the copyright the people who set the type, proof-read the text, designed the book and published it all have a right to the income derived from the product. If you get a scanned text you should destroy it and buy yourself a copy, easily obtainable from Amazon, or go to a library.
Absolutely, unless of course it is a copy done under the remit of standard copying practice for academic purposes complying with copyright law (i.e. the relevant section only, 5% limit etc).
Personal interest is not academic purposes. Following a hobby is not the same as reading for a degree.
I think it’s fairly clear that there is no difference between presenting an essay on the subject within a specific academic context and presenting it in another environment.
I think you need to clarify for yourself English copyright law.
There are editions that are in the public domain. Scanning those wouldn’t violate anyone’s rights. I just wish I had a copy.
I’ve often noticed that evangelicals play fast and loose with morality when it comes to making themselves free with other people’s property. If you are paying fees to an academic institution for a recognised course of study then, of course, you have no moral problem here. If the situation is informal, then, no matter how you dress it up, it’s theft. Up to you, though.
I’m afraid you are wrong Martin. Temporary copies for private study are explicitly permitted as fair use within UK copyright law and (of course) one does not have to be enrolled in a course of study. Sadly it looks like you were really just looking for an opportunity to attack evangelicals though.
Perhaps Martin could ask David Heron whether he could blog-share?
