    I have copies of some of the WTS's publications in PDF format... the other day my brother emailed be requesting a copy of the new TMS Guide Book for 2002.

    Now, didn't they just have a KM article about not making illegal copies of the publications?

    I hope you "reproved" your brother.

    The Sept 2002 KM only refers to "Distributing" publications in electronic format... so he is being a bad boy!

    I sent him an email with a scan of the KM and jokingly elbowed him a bit about it.

    He must be reported immediatley, this is a serious matter and Jehovah must make the right decission on this subject before people start reading things that are not true on the internet.

    There is the "Fair Use" doctrine which applies to copyrighted material.

    I think "Fair Use" of WT publications would be to stack them in a pile and add a hundred gallons of gasoline and a match. We could use the light for a nighttime concert of Bob Dylan singing "The Time They Are A'Changin' " That'd be fair use, wouldn't it?

    Francois,

    I think a better use for the publications would be to save them for a few months until New Light turns up and cream thier ass with them.
