Maybe Canon shouldn't copyright them, and maybe the law's stupid
(another
topic for another thread) but either you're flouting the law and the
creator's rights, or this is an act of civil disobedience, which as a
child
of the Woodstock era I have to applaud. :-)


Missed Woodstock, but will still applaud !
You cannot make money out of a Canon manual. It's aimed at people who
either lost their original or want to learn more before they buy their
camera. So one way or another Canon(or any other company for that
matter) will benefit. Let's not get paranoid about copyright rights.
Manuals should be free to download anyway.
Service manuals may be different. If you need a service manual you're
either likely to attempt repairing something yourself (so Canon repair
centre loses money) or you're carrying out repairs for canon equipment
and charge people for it in which case it's not fair to have it for
free.
