As I mentioned, I will send out copies of the book on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month, as long as I still have memory at yousendit.com.  You can send me an email to my screen address of [email protected] if you wish a copy.  Please include your email address in the body of your message so that it is easy for me to cut and paste it into yousendit.com's website.  I hope you all enjoy the book.

Best,

Mark

Mark เขียน: Dear Fellow Investors,

I regret that I will no longer be able to distribute copies of the book Margin of Safety.  When I gave out my email address, everyone sent the address to their friends who sent it to their friends, so I ended up with 500 requests for the book.   I was overwhelmed.  I have sent the book to about 60 people on the group, so I am sure the members of the board can distribute it to each other.   I sincerely apologize for getting peoples hopes up.


Best,



Mark

Many of you received Margin of Safety emailed to you through the kindness of one member on here. Is anyone kind enough to return the favour (just once) by sending it to me?

I would appreciate it! thanks - [email protected]

Good point, but since it is out of print and the library allows you to photocopy it freely, and there are so many floating around I am not sure what harm it does, but maybe I am misguided.

Yes, technically it is stealing.

If he posted here that it was ok I would request it.

Not that I am under US jurisdiction, but copyright infringement is not
theft, e.g. see the US Supreme Court opinion on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowling_v._United_States:

"The infringer of a copyright does not assume physical control over the
copyright nor wholly deprive its owner of its use. Infringement
implicates a more complex set of property interests than does
run-of-the-mill theft, conversion, or fraud."

Even more to the point, we may not even be infringing copyright in this
case (though I am not a lawyer). See e.g. the Fair Use Doctrine:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright# ... ir_dealing

"Copyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United
States, the fair use doctrine, codified by the Copyright Act of 1976 as
17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without
permission of the copyright holder or payment to same."

In my personal case - I have the book on order from an online book store.

Cheers,

Luc
