Well yeah it's true they were the ones who orignally "copied it", which is what they did, they copied copyrighted material, and are selling it to DSMr's, and they hvae been selling it for years dude.
And they sell it on the condition you already own "the original", and using it for backup purposes only. HAHA Yeah right. Most of the people that purchase that CD do not own a factory service manual, or they wouldn't have to "settle" for an electronic version that can only be read on a computer.
So they are just as guilty if not more so, and they've made plenty of money from it.
Me being one of their "paying customers" would know.
That being said, it's great to have, though some times a pain to find stuff in. Better then just a straight Hanes or Chiltons.
I understand that DSMTuners wants to support the people that "worked so hard" to "copy somone else's" work but I think that technically you are at least indirectly supporting them for profiting by copying someone else's work. Then you tell someone else not to "copy it".
It's like telling someone: NO you can't have a free copy of this Windows XP CD ROM, because I think you should support the people that copy and sell it illegally instead. Go buy a legitmate pirated copy yourself you cheap bastard. (Kinda like that.)
Sheesh.
