Since the download is public and everything I donât see why not!? Iâm sure Tom B. is just glad someone (inluding myself) wants to read his old scribblings. Correct me if Iâm wrong, Tom.
Avatar is correct do whatever you want with it. Iâm just glad to find sites so I donât have to send it out to everyone when indivisual requests come in. Now anyone interested can go to these sites and download and read it or print it out etc. Go for it!
When Tom says âdo whatever you want with itâ he does of course mean download it, print a personal copy of it, read it and indeed pass a copy of it to a friend for free if you so wish.
He does not mean start printing copies to sell for personal profit or take the text and reprint it elsewhere without crediting the original writers or take the text and reprint it elsewhere without first receiving permission from the original writers.
Hopefully Sebastianâs note that âWAI ISSUES AND THEIR CONTENT ARE NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. UNAUTHORIZED REPUBLISHING, COPYING OR OTHER USE PROHIBITED WITHOUT PERMISSION BY THE AUTHORSâ makes that clear.
[quote=âENNIOO, post:11, topic:895â]I have already seen them for sale in the past at film fairs.
Not everyone for whatever reason will know you can download some now for free, and there will always be people ready to take advantage of this.[/quote]
I guess we can only hope that people who want to read the fanzine get to hear (or read for themselves in the âSwinginâ Doorsâ) that they can now get them free on-line instead of buying them at film fairs.
But until recently you couldnât download them, you WOULD have to buy them from someone. I nearly bought a bunch of them off ebay not many months ago.
We must also remember that âofficialâ copies do exist. Copies Tom (or one of his associates) have made themselves and these it is perfectly âlegalâ to sell I gather.
The major part of the issues are still sadly offline and until then the only thing you can do is get someone to photocopy a copy for you.
Avitar is correct. We didnât have computer access in 1983 so the fanzine was started on a photocopied format.
Iâve seen issues offered on e-bay and even bought some of the older issues myself.
You can still order back issues from me and I have an index directory with an order form for $5.00, or you can contact Phil Dovston (see index of any of the posted issues for his e-mail address if you would purchase in Euros.
If someone wants I can send them free issues if they can scan and post them on THIS website as pdf files.
You can contact me at Tom Betts, PO Box 25042, Anaheim, CA 92825 U.S.A. if ineterested.
