[pct-l] Wilderness Press Books and YOGI

[Tortoise]

I go along with the others who oppose the massive copying of someone else's 
work.

It is different to copy a page or two to replace a few lost or damaged.

There are also halfmile's maps which are free except you pay for the 
printing of them by yourself or a service.

It's one thing if someone is going to start making bootleg copies and selling books from their garage, but trying to stop people from sharing information is obviously a losing battle and definitely against the collaborative, anti-establishment, nature of the thru hiker community.  Thy defend the corporate ideology of copywrite infringement and advocate restricting access to information.  Who the heck are we anyway?!?!  Don't be a corporate stooge.  Don't forget who you are Yogi.
