When I bought the book, it's mine. If I take a Sharpie and mark out huge chunks of text and sell it 20 years later at a garage sale, I really don't think I've done anything illegal or unfair.

What if you buy the book, make 3000 photocopies of it, and then sell those photocopies for a profit without the permission of (or benefit passed on to) the original creators and copyright holders? Because you one one copy of the work, does that give you permission to create additional copies with the intent to distribute and sell for your profit, but not for theirs?

Uh, no. Please see my posts #20 and #35.
