Is this guy ripping off Jim's CDs? Sounds like the same product.

Maybe it is none of my business, just thought Jim might appreciate the heads up.

Not a lot Jim can do, except hope that if people know who really put the work into it they will do the right thing...

How do you know it isn't someone selling the copy that they bought from Jim?

Fabio, you're right -- we don't know. Speaking only for myself, I had a knee-jerk reaction because many, many ebay sellers have in fact taken Jim's work, re-sold copies and profited from it.

I bought a very old copy of Jim's stuff before I knew any better -- as soon as I found out about Jim, I bought the full set from him. Even if it weren't for the fact that he sent me more up-to-date files, it was worth it to me to reward the man who invested the sweat into the project in the first place.

These days I take such a dim view of others reselling his work that I jumped the gun and failed to notice that this seems to be an isolated offering from this seller.

Thanks for the sanity check!

The seller replied it is a Morehouse CD set he's selling since he sold his 928. He should note that in his ad.

"Is this guy ripping off Jim's CDs? Sounds like the same product."

It's about information. It's been mentioned that Porsche is no longer supporting the bulletins, not printing, not updating, sold the rights. I support copyrights and Porsche's right to protect its property, but this is getting ridiculous, even if I am rationalizing. Buyer has right to know what he's buying. So I asked here instead of asking him, so shoot me, and he wants full price?? PLEEEEASE, LOREN. Jim made the product better.
