[dicentra]

I'm catching up on emails...
 
As an author and someone who has had to deal with copyright infringement... All I can say is 
 
WOW.
 
Just wow.
 
Mind. Boggles.

I was wondering if anyone has the
              wilderness press books sitting around.  I thru hiked in 2009 and
              will be hiking the PCT again in 2012.  I bought the books back in 2009 but the pieces didn't survive my hike.  I actually only want
              the maps from the wilderness press books, as the rest of
              the books I did not find useful on my last hike.  I was wondering if someone could send me their books so I can photocopy the maps and then I would mail the books back.

I also can't help  myself but comment on concerns about "copywrite laws" voiced by Yogi recently.  It's one thing if someone is going to start making bootleg copies and selling books from their garage, but trying to stop people from sharing information is obviously a losing battle and definitely against the collaborative, anti-establishment, nature of the thru hiker community.  Thy defend the corporate ideology of copywrite infringement and advocate restricting access to information.  Who the heck are we anyway?!?!  Don't be a corporate stooge.  Don't forget who you are Yogi.
