Copyright & free-reading policy
Free to read. Not free to reproduce.
Riley Epperson has made all five books available for complete personal online viewing. That access is an invitation to read and share the work—not a transfer of copyright.
- Read every chapter and appendix online without payment or an account.
- Share links to the homepage, a book, a topic, or an individual chapter.
- Use the site’s print styling to make a personal reference copy.
- Quote brief passages for review, commentary, scholarship, or another use permitted by law, with appropriate attribution.
- Republish or mirror chapters, books, appendices, or substantial portions elsewhere.
- Sell, license, bundle, distribute, or upload copies of the books.
- Remove Riley Epperson’s name, copyright notices, disclaimers, or source context.
- Use automated tools to harvest or scrape the full library for republication, datasets, model training, or commercial reuse.
- Create derivative commercial products, course packets, or subscription access built from the text.
Copyright remains with the author
Copyright © 2026 Riley Epperson. All rights reserved. Each book’s own copyright page and disclaimers remain part of the work and apply to its online presentation.
Linking is encouraged
The best way to share the project is to send people directly to the relevant page on this website. Links preserve the chapter’s context, current corrections, disclaimers, navigation, and connection to the complete volume.
Permissions
For classroom packets, organizational distribution, media excerpts beyond brief quotation, translations, adaptations, republication, licensing, or other substantial use, request written permission through the Contact page.
Plain-language notice
This page explains Riley’s intended permissions in practical language. It is not a substitute for legal advice and does not limit any rights or exceptions that apply under law.
Limited license for individual Tools
You may fill out, print, save as PDF, and adapt an individual Tool for your own personal or internal business use. You may share a completed Tool only with people who reasonably need it for that same purpose. You may not sell, republish, bundle, white-label, place in a template marketplace, or distribute the blank Tools as your own product.
Automated extraction and AI use
Automated scraping, bulk copying, dataset creation, model training, fine-tuning, grounding, embeddings, retrieval databases, or other machine use of the Books or Tools requires prior written permission. Search-engine indexing that honors the Site’s robots instructions does not grant any additional license.
Copyright or ownership complaint
Use the Contact page to identify the work, exact Site URL, challenged material, your contact information, your authority, and the basis of the claim. Riley may request additional information or temporarily restrict material while reviewing the notice.
