Need an instrction manual for your camera, flash or lens?
"Stacey" wrote in message ... Mike wrote: That may be true. Let me put it this way, Nikon's repair CD is the only camera service information I have seen in over 20 years that says anything about copy write or unauthorized reprint and distribution. So you're defending this jerk posting his ads here? Whatever... -- Stacey Defending him ??? You truly do jump to conclusions. What I was making was an observation, nothing more. My other observation is that most of the manufactures could give a damn less as there are literally hundreds of copies that can be had from a number of sources. With a few exceptions, those being an auction, every one of my parts and service manuals came from the manufactures. Some of them cost me as much as $75.00 for the service and $50 for the parts. My library cost me nearly $4,000 |

And lets see if you can follow this logic, you spend $4000 on manuals and you don't think the owners of the copyrights of this information cares about this being sold by someone who copied these manuals? Nah they don't care about the money these manuals generate.. -- Stacey Stacey you have missed the point entirely. The point is this......IF.....Mamiya, Bronica, Canon, Nikon...etc cared about the fact that OTHER people were selling their manuals then "THEY" would do something about it.......don't you think? I purchased all my manuals from the importers and distributors because there wasn't any other place to get them, I acquired them ALL *years* before there were online sources. Does that mean I would get them from some other source now, today? No. |

YOU said it yourself "Of -COURSE- I can't do anything and those people don't care." By 'those people' I meant the owners of the copyrights. Maybe the guy would wonder if this might be more trouble than it's worth, thanx for explaining to him that is won't be. I still don't understand what you were trying to get out of defending a spammer. Get a life Stacey you make a sorry NG cop. :-( I -was- trying to help, sorry I tried. -- Stacey |

Stacey I know that I am coming in the middle of this thread (without reading everything), but most companies are publishing their newer manuals on the web in PDF format these days for anyone to download. I know for a fact that it includes Nikon and Canon, and I suspect that the vast majority of others are the same. I recently downloaded the user's manual for my vacuum cleaner. |

So does Pentax but that doesn't mean they would like the idea of thier manuals being sold. You see those pdf manuals being sold on Ebay all the time. It can't be creating any good will for the companies when people find out they could have just downloaded them. Nick |

I post something that I hoped would make them think twice about posting here again. You feel you need to impress someone (?) with your knowledge and -defend- him without thinking why I posted that responce. Of -COURSE- I can't do anything and those people don't care. You explained it in detail so this jackass now knows there is nothing anyone can do. Yes Mike I already knew what you said is true, feel better now? Now he will probably post this garbage regularly since you saw this need to defend what this jackass is doing. You're clueless.... -- Stacey YOU said it yourself "Of -COURSE- I can't do anything and those people don't care." Get a life Stacey you make a sorry NG cop. |

He won't get into trouble and you can't stop him or anyone from posting crap. I have never heard anyone whine like you do. |

Nick At least some of the manuals sold on ebay are older ones and not available on-line (although some companies have even scanned the older ones into PDF files). If someone is smart enough to use a computer and bid on an ebay auction, they ought to be smart enough to check out the vendor web site for the manual before purchasing on ebay. I think that most companies have a lot more important things to worry about. |
