I copied all 50 something pages of the MMGG and made my own book with it. Even put a whole made binding on it and everything. Took alot of fucking ink too. Probably would have been cheeper to just buy it, lol.------------------ Why is it that we kill people who kill people to show people that killing people is wrong?

It is called plagerism. It is a fedral offence man, I would destroy that copy because if MMGG wanted to be a bunch of stiff asses they could get you in major shit. Especially if you copied it word for word. If you are just usiing it as foot notes, and give credit to them there is no problem.------------------ Peace Blue

Highly unethical. Paul worked hard to write and release those books. Very disrespectful. Tisk tisk.------------------ Peace, Love & Light

... It is illegal to take any print out of a book... it's PLAGERISUM! To get around it what you could do is just take sections out and re-right them so they are almost the same, but change words here and there and then it's fine.

There is no reason to destroy your copy of the MMGG, it says on the first page that it may be freely copied and distrubted in as long as all of it is copied, it is unaltered, and it isn't sold for profit.

especially since the author of MMGG would like to remain anonymous, otherwise probably would've included his/her name on the MMGG
