At the school I work, a student came in a couple of day, saying
"Hey, look what I've got!", and showing me a copy of the Lions
document. So, I immedeately borrowed it. I think I have permission
to read it, since the school has a V7 license. However, the student
doesn't, and obviously got the book in some illegal way.

Now, I guess I won't be expected to hit him across the head and
turn him into the next police station:-), but the thing that
intrigued me is: Am I allowed to give it back to him? He
obviously shouldn't have it, but then, it *is* his....

Moreover, I *think* (note emphasis) that it isn't his fault to
have the book, it's the fault of the person who gave him a copy.

Anyone care to enlighten me?
