Ilko is right, if the CD contains material originally written by Porsche, then it IS copyright material and cannot be legally distributed on Rennlist.
Do you want Rennlist to be sued by Porsche and get shut down???
Please do not post copyright material or links for people to be able to illegally obtain copyright material here.
We don't need lessons on copyright definitions and law, we just need that stuff kept off Rennlist!

On the other side of the coin, if someone (Porsche, MGM, SONY) doesn't want their previously available material copied, then maybe they should make it available to those who want to buy it.

I'm quite relaxed, thanks - beer in hand and the weekend off. 
If you reread the thread more slowly and carefully, you'll realize my comments were directed at cy7878 who seemed under the impression his newly purchased CD was somehow all public domain material and was offering to post it to Rennlist.

Did you actually read my posts or are you just jumping on me for fun? I am not here to "distribute copy protected material" but somehow Ilk started lecturing me on copyright and you assume the same.
I was responding to a tread from a fellow member that he bought a CD that was "available freely on-line" and the content was "incomplete" and that people need not waste their money. I bought a CD on-line and before receiving it, I commented that if the CD I bought is freely available on-line then it must be public domain.
I posted no link and did not post any of the content on Rennlist. Why are you still picking on me? Maybe I need to start drinking and ignore further posts.

What he "might" do in the future "off line" or through PMs is his business and has nothing to do with "my" thread.
Furthermore, he really doesn't have to bother getting into the distribution business. The Porsche 993 service manual is readily available by Googling it. I have a downloaded copy. I wanted and paid for what I thought was an "original" off eBay only to find out through replies on this thread that Porsche never offered the manual on CD.
Maybe Porsche NA should go after these sellers on eBay. That low life inbred got very low ratings from me.

Marc, why don't we have a reference section with index (or do we) where certain things can be looked up such as Workshop Manuals. Are they available, if so, where from, what are the other options, etc.

UPDATE:
They were nice enough to give me a full refund for the CD that was not as advertised.
No response from them yet as to whether they want the CD back or not, not that I'm willing to send it back at my expense.

IIRC, Pelican had workshop manual diagrams online but were ordered to remove them by Porsche.
