If you do that and reproduce the covers or the protected elements thereof, you should absolutely expect to be sued.

So for example, if the bookstore has a nice 4k surveillance camera and you have access to it because you work there, sitting at home and using it to look at the cover art on all the books on display is something you'd expect to be sued over?

Probably not sued, but it's possible Le to be. They'd probably just fire you instead.

Having access to a camera doesn't permit you to take the footage home to review.The company still owns that footage, after all.

Now, if you had your own camera recording everything at your desk... I guess that falls into one or two party states.

This conversation becomes incredibly unenjoyable when you pull rhetorical techniques like completely ignoring the entirety of what I wrote.
