[sdiy] OTA book on eBay

[Harry Bissell Jr]

What I'd like to see (at least for Music)
is a modification of copyright law... that says
something
like if the copyright holder does not make the
product available for purchase, then the public would
get a licence to make a limited number of copies.

Maybe each person could make ~one~ copy.  So I could
copy one, and give it to you, you could copy and
give it to one other...etc.

When someone takes a product that they bought one copy
of, then reproduces it for profit on E-bay, that is
just wrong.

What should happen is that someone who NEEDS the
information (perhaps on list) should request it...and
some other person (perhaps also on list) should send
them a copy, and enjoy a large steaming mug of STFU
all around.

I have received some material, and have sent some
material. The material I received was sent at no cost
to me (or profit to them) and what I sent was as no
cost to them (or profit to me).

Help each other out folks... this is the closest that
we might get to 'fair use' of those obsolete and
unobtainable documents.

Another example... want Electronotes ?  Buy them from
Bernie. I would not dream of photocopying them for
sale or trade. Maybe if Bernie was dead and his heirs
did not want to continue distribution. Even then I
would not SELL them.

Its not like we're bootlegging Britney Spears or
anything :^P
