[pct-l] Wilderness Press Books and YOGI

[Carl Siechert]

It's not just the law. More importantly, the hope for some compensation for
the considerable expense incurred and time invested is one reason that many
authors, publishers, and other artists are driven to create the material in
the first place. Why would Yogi (or Wilderness Press or Eric or any other
creator) spend thousands of hours and thousands of dollars just to create a
book that you can share with your buds? Yogi, Eric, WP authors, et al are
nobody's corporate stooges.
