Rett,

I think this would definately line up the situation with the MP3 debate
which is being lost by the public; essentially you are 'file sharing'. I
think this move would invite problems.

Take Care;
and may your life be long and happy!

Might the following idea be okay then?

Suppose e-editions are made of copyrighted but rare and out-of-print
works, and they are put on a website for download. _But_ in order to
download them,you have to first place a request with the owner of the
site to get an access code.

In this way, you are (debatably) making one copy at a time in
response to individual requests. The world of Pali studies is small
enough that the number of requests probably won't be overwhelming.

best regards
