I just couldn't let it go that far. We have gone so far as to bring law to bear on for-profit enterprises whom we believed to be photocopying the manuals on demand for anyone who came in off the street! Whereas there is fairness, we have to make *some* attempt to preserve copyright in what is, essentially, a money-making business. I think I'd probably be on the verge of being sacked if I was to actively encourage duplication of the manuals.
