It was stated that if the questions were "the same" that it would be illegal. For most people, that's not true, because most people do not mean "an illegal verbatim reproduction" when they say "the same."
Also just FYI, simple questions & facts do not have copyright protection. If a history exam asks "who was president in 1931", they cannot copyright that question nor the answer to it. Nothing produced by the (US) government has copyright protection either.
??? the government? What?
This is a ridiculous thread. Discussing hypothetical copyright infringement scenarios doesn't apply to this forum. IC test questions are representative of the type of questions you can expect on a CLEP exam. Nothing more. If someone wants to buy stolen questions, create a website, or some create some other business (legitimate or shady) it has nothing to do with this forum. The integrity here is exceptional, let's work to keeping it that way instead of concocting ways to do otherwise.
