Is it against copyright laws in Canada to sell used university textbooks?

Just worried about Canadian laws on copyrights and such and selling some old textbooks. These university textbooks are at the latest 2 years old, and all the others are much older. So is it against the law to sell these textbooks that I used (at a lower price than the time I bought them of course) ? I finished using them and I no longer want/need/use them anymore. It'd be a waste to throw them out.Is it against copyright laws in Canada to sell used university textbooks?
No, reselling is not illegal. COPYING and then reselling would be. As long as it's the original item you paid for, you can resell it for whatever you can get for it.Is it against copyright laws in Canada to sell used university textbooks?

I don't think it's illegal.



U of T bookstore sells used books, and I sold all my textbooks when I was done with them too. Everyone does, and I've never heard anything about anyone getting in trouble for it.
