You are overlooking the fact that
many pseudo-patriots are being paid
to act as agents provocateur on
this bulletin board and others,
particularly when it comes to a
well established right like that
of an author's exclusive rights
in his own published works.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION!!
They are embarked upon an effort
to destroy ALL Rights guaranteed
by the U.S. Constitution, among
which the exclusive right of
authors is just one among others.
So, we are NOT going to get this matter
behind us, not until restitution is paid,
in full, deep pockets or no deep pockets.
The Preface very clearly says that,
if you don't pay for the copy(s) you have,
then you are no different from the
government employees who are stealing
from you.
Shane, did you ever pay for the copy
you have read?
Anyone who went to the trouble of
adding a valid link to the stolen copy(s),
surely had to test that link for any
typographical errors. Clicking on
a valid link, starts to download that
document immediately. Of course,
knowing the correct URL in the first
place, means that the ones who added
the offending links, already knew
where to find the stolen copy(s),
and had already decided it was useful
to point others to this stolen property
as well.
What are 100+ separate defendants
going to say to the jury, when the
evidence shows that they all added
THE VERY SAME offending link?
They all "just happened" to know the
precisely correct location for the
stolen copy(s)?
Quelle coincidence, n'est pas?
Got it?
