You just don't get it do you? There were strings. He gave the magazines
to you under the pretense that you were going to scan them and make them
available to the community. Not make them available for a fee. Why the
hell would someone donate something to you just so that you could charge
other people to access it?

And while we're on the topic of charging, how do you justify charging
for access to something that you don't rightly own anyway? Somehow I
don't think you own the copyright on any of the stuff you host do you?
If you justify it by saying it is to cover bandwidth costs, I don't
believe that will fly with Canadian copyright law.

I see you have a really thick skin. If you were doing it for the
community like you originally claimed, who gives a fuck about a few
people bitching?

Can you blame him? Honestly? You went back on your word.

The last refuge of someone with no leg to stand on. Who gives a flying
fuck about how big your house is? Why not list your education
credentials too? I bet that would help us all realize how great a person
you really are.

Well said Dragos. Funny, it's one of the reasons I stick around this
community - someone will always call you on your bullshit.
