I have said many times, in the eyes of the law it does
not matter if you give it away or sell it..  For me,
it is more of a moral issue.

As Mr. Video Bob once said himself "Honor among
thieves".

I have not priced out the workshop manual recently,
but would say that if they are profiting from sales of
workshop manuals, it is more wrong than if they just
made them available on the Internet for free.

Moreover, I have yet to see DMCH or Grady come on and
accuse someone else of "stealing" (for lack of a
better term) from them.  VB plays both sides of the
game, he re-sells content he does not own yet wants to
not only protect the content he does own but also stop
others from selling the content he is already selling
but does not own!  (Yea, read that 2 or 3 times.. I
had to!) as he did with the DVD for sale on Ebay that
competes with his.

I disagree.  If Tamir's intent is to use his site as a
marketing tool, There would be plenty of opportunity
for a browser of the site to see advertisements for
his products.

I have no idea the logistics of how one would reprint
William Shakespeare (entertainment??), but assume
those that do so are doing it in a legal manor.

FREE flow.. yes..  FREE.  :)

I spent MONTHS preparing all of the video for Pigeon
Forge.  I received no payment for that work (Profit,
or otherwise).  Why are you defending VB anyway?  The
man himself admitted his motivation is PROFIT, not
education (or entertainment)!  Otherwise, VB would be
selling the DVD's for significantly less money.
