I'd like to push back on this: Is that legally true, or is it infringement which just happens to be so minor and under-the-radar that nobody gets in trouble?

Suppose there's a printer in my room churning out hundreds of pages of words matching that of someone's copyrighted new book, without permission.

That sure seems like infringement is happening, regardless of whether my next step is to: (A) sell it, (B) sell many of it, (C) give it away, (D) place it into my personal library of other home-printed books, or (E) hand it to someone else who paid me in advance to produce it for them under contract.

If (A) is infringement, why wouldn't (E) also be?
