Re: Re: Mike Epstein

I've been browsing Mike's site, he has a lot of good information that he graciously shares, but the .pdf document are locked fom printing. It's hard on th eyees to read them off the computer screen. I posted a question on his forum, and he replied, essentially "sorry, copyright laws". I then pointed out (resoectfully) that HE owns the copyright, and allowing folks to print would not negate his copyright protection, it would just make it more convenient for people to print and save the material. Not only did my last response not make it through the forum censor (Mike himself?), but the ENTIRE thread was deleted from the forum!

I mean he's already providing the content free over the net (and I expressed my appreciation), what would be the harm in simply allowing people to freaking print it?! Jack, Paul Nyman, and all other hitting professionals with a web presence allow it, why not him?

Preventing printing also prevents saving. Thus you can't copy, cut and paste, etc. You can read and remember or type word for word yourself.
This prevents plagarism and wide distribution of his materials. You have to go to his site.
This may be due to contractual issues with having also sold these articles to a magazine.
Or he may be suspicious that others will steal from him. Sometimes one suspects in others, what one sees in oneself.
I don't know what the truth is here. Mike has some good ideas but he has done some questionable things with other people's materials in the past IMO. So the jury is out. Make your own decision on this one.
