I am 1000% against piracy and theft of ANY kind (OK, I borrow from Beethoven and Mozart every so often...) But thisPDF thing is just so dumb sometimes. I think a sticky would be great.

But it does raise an interesting question:
If there are third-party pdf's on the web which were made with the legal blessing of MOTU, is it unethical to mention them here?

I guess the question is actually: how free IS our speech on this board? Jim has let some pretty odd stuff stay and I don;t see him as a censor (unless it is offensive). But I don;t think we should deliberately point pirates to places where they can get help.Let em rot, I say!

I wasn't aware that there was such a thing. If you know of any tell me and I will write to MOTU directly and ask if they would have a problem linking to it. It may have been made with their blessing, but perhaps distributing it may not be. Let me know and I'll investigate. I don't care if MOTU doesn't care, but I wouldn't want to do this if they would be unhappy about it or it was illegal in any way.Frodo wrote:If there are third-party pdf's on the web which were made with the legal blessing of MOTU, is it unethical to mention them here?
