All, There's no need for this silliness, and I have no idea why Sean seems to be turning this into a matter of ethics, despite not having read my message thoroughly. Don't make up stories. "I'm away from MY books", to spell it out for you, means that I did purchase this book. I paid for it and can't use it at the moment. I'm not asking anyone to make a special effort to scan it, just asking if someone has already scanned just the scholarly material for easy use. It's a large book and doesn't travel well. I've made such efforts for others on this board in the past. I'm neither an idiot nor a thief, so please save your rants about copyright infringement (in addition to the details of the scholarly work involved in the creation of the edition, about which I know more than enough and would be happy to educate you) to yourself. If you can't help out, that's fine. Just practice your legal skills somewhere else. > Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 14:50:35 -0500 > To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu > From: tiorbin...@gmail.com > Subject: [LUTE] Re: Articles Needed > > Don't get me wrong, I'm as much in favor of people paying fair wage for > labor of hand and mind. > But I honestly think people are missing something here: Graham Freeman > stated "I'm away from my books...". > At the very least, it might be a good thing to ask if he already owns > copies of these in the books he is away from before pillorying him for > crimes he may not even be trying to commit. > It might also be appropriate for someone with the books and a scanner > available to ask what he is specifically looking for and offer to send > a limited number of scans which directly represent that. > I know this group pretty well on this sort of thing: When I was asked > to accompany a young lady at the state university (where I was > basically a townie in their collegium musicum) and given a piano score > in a different key for a lute part, I asked here if anyone could help > me out.
