[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 541883, member: 175057"] Well it turns out that the guy is a member here and he claims that he didn't get the guide from here, but RDi forum and assumed that it was in the public domain, strange how he has actually posted twice in the thread with the guide, it also has the Satellites.co.uk watermark on the photos. ;) But in truth, it doesn't matter where he got it from, he had no right to resell it. He is upset that I reported him to ebay and is threatening to sue me under the UK slander laws (I think he means Libel) if I do not remove my comments, as he objects to being called a chancing scumbag for trying to sell something which he hasn't written, doesn't own and which was designed to be freely available for someone to download. Well I'm not withdrawing that comment as I think it is entirely justified, just because something is in the public domain, doesn't mean that you have the right to resell it and in fact, intellectual property rights apply just as much on the internet as anywhere else. I didn't write the guide for someone to make money out of it, it was for the free use of any satellite hobbyist. [/QUOTE]
