"indulge in illegal trading of copyright material"
I have checked the copyright notices in all my manuals. I am not allowed to disseminate, lend, hire blah blah blah.....
Says nothing about selling. I bought one of my sets of manuals from my training provider and successfully attended their course and ensuing CAA exams. The manuals are excellent, I intend to keep them. The other set I bought from a reputable flight supplies shop, now opened its fourth outlet at Gloucester. I reserve the right to re-sell MY manuals, costing £550, for a snip in order to clear out a bookshelf and help somebody else.
Intellectual property and copyright schmopyright!!
Previous posts say it all, you can't pass the exams with second hand notes only, one MUST enrol with a recognised training provider so the only ones losing out are those that can't win prospective customers due to competition. No names mentioned, but the weather forecast says it's sunnier in Bristol than in Oxford at the moment....
Off soapbox, two, three.....dismissed!
