Hi Vinnie, 
 
You bring up an interesting issue.  Perhaps Mark Lewis should have offered to
sell his customer a manual before he reminded them that photocopying and
distributing copyrighted material is a crime.   However, the offer was made
over the internet and is a serious violation of the US Copyright laws.   

<<I have the Citadel 2000 manual (it's almost the same thing).  It's 26
pages.  If you give me your address, I'll mail you a legible copy (I
hope).>>


Shandon is perfectly justified in taking whatever legal actions it deems
necessary to stop people from stealing what is rightfully theirs.   If not,
what is to stop people from photocopying and distributing Histology text
books, manuals, and scientific papers, which are also protected under the same
copyright laws?
