Love this post.

Then the book and its writings will be distributed via copied or pirated version.
The message of the WTS doing so as a intentional means to conceal its corruption, would tell a tale in itself.

Squatting?

If this were true then "All's fair in love and war" ... so now let's unleash the pdf's of war.

Where is the proof of this? If it is true, I am horrified.

Wouldn't surprise me - crooks! They're certainly hurting for money -- yeah, right! Although it's wise of them to dig into their deep pockets and make this move.

It's not likely this would happen for many reasons NJS. I thought a hypothetical would be good for an exercise in intellectual honesty.

Why is this posted like a fact instead of a what if? Kinda misleading.

It's difficult, if not impossible to give an honest reaction to an hypothetical situation, especially one that is so far-fetched and fraught with emotional issues.
If the copyright owner *did* sell it to the Tower, then she would have already disrespected Ray's wishes, and by illegally distributing it, we would be fulfilling his dying wish. That is my answer, and it goes right along with the opinions I have already expressed.
Legally, it would be wrong. But morally, I would have no problem with it.
