Best Answer

Yes; making a copy is one of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder, regardless of whether you sell the copy or not. Certain educational uses are exempt.

It may be worth noting that while the law is broken whether you sell the information or not, the law may provide for higher penalties if you do sell it.
