EXHIBIT 5.1
OPINION OF CHRISMAN, BYNUM & JOHNSON, P.C.
July 20, 2000
InfoNow Corporation
1875 Lawrence Street, Suite 1100
Denver, CO 80202
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to InfoNow Corporation (the "Company") in connection
with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8
("Registration Statement") covering registration under the Securities Act of
1993 of an additional 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share ("Shares"). The Shares are offered pursuant to the InfoNow
Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan.
Based on the foregoing, and assuming that the Shares will be sold according to
the Registration Statement at a time when effective and that there will be
compliance with all applicable securities laws involved in those states in which
the shares may be sold, we are of the opinion that, upon issuance of the Shares
according to the Registration Statement and receipt of the consideration to be
paid for the Shares, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Chrisman, Bynum & Johnson, P.C.
