Ouch,what is the publisher/name of the books that were copywrited?as i'm sure pretty much everyone here didn't think they were breaking the law.as I can't seem to download it doesn't mean anything to me,must be my router

Indeed copywrite law seems to be more complicated then i thought

out of print doesn't mean the copywrite has expired it seems.there is no way to really tell what is copywrite infringement and what is public domain unless you decide to publish the e-mail from the publisher for all of us upright citazens

This reminds me of a qoute from Samael Aun Weor....

My dear friends, now and forever, I renounce, have renounced and will go on renouncing copyrights. My only wish is that these books be sold at low price, affordable to the poor, affordable to all the children of God. I wish that even the poorest, most destitute citizen be able to obtain these books with the few pennies he carries in his pocket. In fact, I do not have any income; I do not demand anything in exchange for my works. Whosoever wants to publish them, let him publish for the benefit of diseased mankind...

Ultimately at this present time in human history, it is illegal to share any copyrighted materials, recently the works of Alice Bailly were taken off line due to the copyright holder requested these materials be removed from many different web-sites. The works of Aleister Crowley are illegal to share, since the copyright holders of the estate have made them freely available. whether these materials of 50 years older makes no difference as long as there are copyright holders.

The only books that can legally be shared are those in the public domain and those distributed by a author with the soul purpose of making them available this way.
