I was able - just at 6 minutes. Not really ripping - Modem is locked on 100M but
there is a link somewhere - likely limited at Gutenberg or between.

just the download and duplication service. That is the work of him and his computer. Would someone buy an empty CD (or one with binary noise on it) for $5? No. The value of the CD is from the work of others. It's just stealing of and ****ing at the _free_ work of others. Shame!

Before you continue to spread huge piles of ****! Recovery of cost is NOT any violation of their license agreement. Time involved and depreciation of the equipment used are legitimate costs. (And the $5 charge would be considered very reasonable for the service.) Charging for the costs is in no way selling the product. He would be charging for a service, not a product. As per: those that transcribe from records to CD and charge for it, they're selling a service, not a product. It's pretty common, profitable, AND LEGAL. Rich |

You can make your own decisions, but the above states the rules set down by Project Gutenberg Regards rgentry_at_oz_dot_net _AT_ = @, _dot_ = . to eMail OK, It says a 20% of the PROFIT. You tell me how to download a large file, burn a CD, label the CD, pack the CD, and mail it anywhere in the world for $5.00 and make a profit. I figure I am pretty much donating my time. If anyone objects to this, I formally withdraw the offer to you. It is, however, still open to anyone who does not object. Sheesh! Try to help people...
