I won't charge money for anything for which I am not the copyright owner,
but that also means I probably don't have grounds to complain to eBay about
it. I *am* going to keep track of the auction and notify bidders where they
can get the files for free ;-)

I have contemplated puttung up my own auctions for these service manuals
with a starting bit of $1.00 and a note in the item description that points
out how anyone can get them from me for free. I'd get no bids, of course,
and it would cost me a few cents for the auction listing but it might be
worth it to piss off the photocopy/PDF resellers!
