Theos-Talk Archives (July 2007 Message tt00071)

I agree. Is this Theosophy? is used to be one of the rarest books till
recently. I have seen only two copies in the last 50 years. I suppose most
center libraries either did not have them or hid them or got rid of them
since some of the contents were not liked by organizations. Fortunately,
Kessinger published it recently. Since it is out of copyright, I think
anyone can scan and put it up on the Internet. A new phenomenon has arisen
causing severe headaches to those who love copyright. One can find in the
cyberworld many of the copyrighted works. I am not passing any comments
about copyrighters rights; all I am pointing out what is going on. Many in
the third world cannot afford to pay the high prices of western
publications; so if they find it in the cyberspace they are going to get it
and read it and no one knows about it.

thanks for the efforts you have put in to upload material. Online materials
save trees, tires etc.
