Thumbs up usmle step 1 books

This item is not allowed to be sold.

Note that copyright law does not restrict resale of copies of works, provided those copies were made by or with the permission of the copyright holder. Thus it is legal, for example, to resell a book or a CD that you have purchased, provided you do not keep a copy for yourself. In the United States this is known as the first-sale doctrine, and was established in the U.S. court system to clarify the legality of reselling books in used book stores. Elsewhere it has other names; in the United Kingdom it is known as "exhaustion of rights" and is a principle which applies to other intellectual property rights.


Kaplan class notes are never "purchased" by the students. Rather, they are part of the live courses, just as the slides, etc. The notes are not sold separately and are intended to be used only as part of the course. In this sense, the notes do not belong to the students because technically Kaplan still owns them and only sort of lends them to the students. It's similar to Kaplan Qbank where you purchase access to the questions for a certain time period, but reproducing them is not permitted.

KAPLAN DOES NOT ALLOW THE REPRODUCTION OR SELLING OF THEIR PRODUCT.

This post has been edited by the Moderator for that reason.
