While the Yahoo News article link is a good summary of the original article from
the Greek News daily newspaper Ta Nea July 4, 2006 story, if you want a link to
the original story here it is:

Of course you may not be able to read Greek!
In that case go to the WorldLingo URL translator tool http://www.worldlingo.com/en/websites/url_translat or.html and enter in the URL, choose
the language you want to translate from (Greek) and to (?English) and you get a
pretty good machine translation of the complete text of the original article.
Happy reading...
There is nothing illegal, in the west anyway, in building and selling photocopiers that can make photocopies. However, if we promoted these machines as ideal for users to automatically copy and reproduce "copyrighted books" in mass quantities, that would be an illegal use of the photocopier machine. I think that publishers would rightly complain of such a promotion. While photocopiers may indeed be used for illegal purposes as well as legal purposes, promoting the illegal purpose does indeed seem to make the producer an accomplice to the crime even though the maker and distributer of the photocopier has no control over which books that one will use the photocopier to infringe the copyrights to.
