I don't so dearly care about copyrights. BAMA seems to be the only readily
available 'free' source of manuals available online. I am new to this group,
so I didn't know that this subject has been rehashed a zillion times
already - sorry about that. I didn't claim that his ad said that it was from
BAMA, but it's identical to the copy I obtained from there. So I guess
there's nothing stopping me from doing the same thing with my Heathkit
manuals - I just scan em in and sell the copies, eh? If I had my druthers,
there would be no copyright law and everything would be freely available for
downloading...

Take a look at this and all his other "manuals" - maybe ripped from BAMA
ftp
site? It only takes one joker like this to wreck it for all of us. Is
this
copyright infringement?



Take a deep breath Tom. Where does his ad say it's from BAMA?
Where does his ad say he even MADE the copy? You know as well
as I know that EICO is LONG out of biz. There are MANY MANY
'companies' selling copies of old manuals - Hi Manuals and many
others. This is a stale old debate that no one but zealots care about.
Jezus - there are photocopies out there of manuals for gear that hasn't
been sold in DECADES. Get over it! And I might add that just because
BAMA doesn't charge doesn't mean they wouldn't be violating the
copyrights you seem so dearly to care about!!
