Do you mean to say that the vast majority of the World’s population that lives on less than 2 USD a day owns computers and high-speed In ternet connections to download PDF files?
Copyright infringement in the third World is not an issue. As long as people don’t try to amass a fortune that way it is by and large t olerated. How do you think China got to be the industrial powerhouse that is now threatening jobs in the US? I even know of publishing c ompanies in India and other advancing nations that distribute pirate d copies worldwide to make a fast buck.

Hi Folks,
Well I don’t know who’s reading this any more, or where the free online copy is, but I’m gonna say good on who-ever did that. I had b een fantasizing about doing that for a long time and I wonder why it was not done till now. Come on! What kind of guy would Mohammed be if he Kept the Quran in his bedroom and wouldn’t let anybody else re ad it that hadn’t paid him 3.5 Gold Sovreigns. What use would Einsti en, Shakesphere, Marx be if they all sat on their books demanding mo ney till they died. Its pathetic. Why does this book, which many of us recognise to be one of the most important publications of the 20t h century have to be sat on by one small back-shed publishing house in Tazmania!? Come ON. Bill’s Planet sized brain is as good as a 2 w heeled Lambourgini due to his SELFISH behaviour. I don’t see that th ere is any importance to Tagari or the Australian institute when the se organisations do not themselves make available this information t o the
VAST MAJORITY of the world’s population who live on the equivalent o f less than $2 a day! What’s more they aren’t even in the cash economy! I don’t see any lending libraries here in Ethiopia, and I b et there ARENT ANY in the 3rd world. Only AUSTRALIA! They could at l east get it printed in Europe, America, India etc. What is the use o f a book that people have to pay a year’s cash income to lay hands o n!? And then pay freighting costs too. What does Mollison consider m ore important the information in the book, or his own little idilic house and garden? God says man has not the right to claim ownership over water, if a thirsty man asks you for a drink you better give it to him! (FREE!)
Send me the link folks!
