Do note that 7th Law stuff are the worse things out there because they are so easy to violate. For example, merely knowing of the existence and/or name of an Old One means said Old One is a little bit closer to our world. So, if someone prints a "fantasy" book with that name and info, and people read it as fantasy or even read it by accident / without knowing what's inside, the Old One still gets a bonus.
As for a direct 7th Law violation, merely seeking such knowledge (knowingly or otherwise, successfully or otherwise, willingly or coerced) would result in a violation.
