You need to speak for yourself.  I've never picked up any vibes from the 
"thru-hiking community" that they aren't in every way good solid citizens 
who respect the law and the rights of others.  And that includes the 
copyright laws.  I'd suggest that you've got some thinking to do my friend.

Lenny, if that is how you feel about our copyright laws here in America,
then I suggest you move to China.  You will fit right in over there.  Any by
the way, it is copyright, not "copywrite."

I was wondering if anyone has the
              wilderness press books sitting around. I thru hiked in 2009
and
              will be hiking the PCT again in 2012. I bought the books back
in 2009 but the pieces didn't survive my hike. I actually only want
              the maps from the wilderness press books, as the rest of
              the books I did not find useful on my last hike. I was
wondering if someone could send me their books so I can photocopy the maps
and then I would mail the books back.

I also can't help myself but comment on concerns about "copywrite laws"
voiced by Yogi recently. 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.
