Well,  as was mentioned a bit further up the thread,  some companies,  Notably 
Yamaha in particular,  are prepared to defend their intellectual property 
rights in terms of going after folks that would appear to be violating their 
copyrights by reporducing that stuff.

I have some slight plans for keeping some bits of it,  particularly ARP and 
Moog stuff which is most of what I worked on back when,  and a few odds and 
ends here and there,  but don't particularly need the rest of the stuff.  I'm 
just now beginning to make a list of the stuff,  and will put that online at 
some point,  but from there I'm willing to part with the actual paper copies 
of what I have on hand here,  and what anybody does with that is their own 
business.  I'm not going to be a part of scanning and copying anything with 
any company that defends their copyright though,  I've got enough hassles in 
normal dealings as it is.

When I get the list up,  anybody wanting any of this stuff should feel free to 
contact me,  offlist,  and we'll take it from there.
