I posted a thread today with info for free EVO shop manuals and it's gone now. Can someone tell me why it was deleted?

 

its copywriten information. allowing it here could get evolutionm.net in a deal for copywrite infringement

 

Its the same one that MACH V sells for 200 ??? they are vendors.

 

they're probably authorized by MMC to do so

 

Please post descriptive thread titles. Yes, that's exactly why the thread was deleted.

 

SO your saying you allow them to post it on here ( cuz this is where I saw it) without knowing for sure if they are authorized or not but my thread was deleted. I love it!

 

MACH V sells the ORIGINAL manual that you can buy at any dealer and that is why the price is so high. all the other manuals that are running around are bootlegs and they violate many copywrite laws. the original one was created by MMC and is sold by them which means that it is autorized.

hope this clears it up..

thank you,

Without having read the original post he put up, it appears that he posted up where one can obtain a pirated version of the manual. If that is indeed the case, I don't understand why he doesn't understand that it cannot be posted on this forum.

If someone is trying to sell a copy of the manual they produced themself, then there is a problem with copyright.

 

FYI I have the EXACT same manual that MACH V has, but since no one bothered to ask, screw it.

ASSUMPTION is the mother of all **** ups!

 

it doesn't matter. i have 1000 original cds, is it ok for me to make copies of them and give them to people?? is doesn't make a difference if you copied a boot leg or an original, you are still cutting into MMC profits which means that it is illegal. when you buy something like that, it is for your OWN use and cannot be distributed to other people.

thanks

cool man delete the thread and be done with it.

I'm sure you've never burned a cd or taped a movie. ETC! All hail the choir boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Burning a cd or taping a movie is not illegal if you have the original copy and are only copying it for backup purposes. However, if one copies it and distribute it, then it is an issue. Just my take.

 

i think you are still missing the point. i have done my share and i am sure that non of us are that naive. the problem is that if we allow the thread to stay than the BOARD cen be held responsible. i have my manual and i assure you that it didn't cost me $200 but at least i am the only one responisble for that and nobody else will pay because i did it. i understand that you want to help your evo brother and i command it but you have to see it from our side. it is like your boss turning the other chik when you sell drugs in the office, who do you think will get his business closed???

 

that is what i was saying, even if you have the original tape does not give you the right to give it to other people.
