Re: [NTLK] Terry Pratchett Newton Books

I tend to agree with you here to some extent, Martin; however, as a
community, it behooves us to be as aboveboard and legally responsible as
possible. It is most likely not in the best interests of the Newton
community to ask for (or provide) Newtonbooks or text files of
copyrighted material...tends to be like blood in the water to lawyers.

Yeah but hey I've spent 15 quid on the each of the last 15 novels the
week they came out on hardback so I think Terry being a very resonable
man would not be all that fussed about me having a newton book copy of
Mort of the Light Fantastic.

Copyright is way too overblown by some people in my humble opinion.
Its like getting upitty about being 5 miles per hour over the speed
limit. Fair enough your not supposed to do it but hey everyone does and
if you get caught then fair cop.

My own opinion I hope I don't get flamed for it.
