I found a free online service manual and thought it might be useful to some folks on here, instead I got my hand slapped by some DB. Thanks for the useful info guys. I'll probably be kicked off the forum. Just another example of how soft this country has become.

"Oh no, don't give out free service manuals we will get in big trouble!"

Yeah, you have to keep in mind...just because they provide it for free, doesn't mean you can go distribute it. Sometimes it does, but if it's copyrighted only for distro by the developing company....you can get sued.

Good intentions behind posting it Tx, but I can see the reason for removing it as well. Don't take it as a personal attack on you, as I don't think that is what happened.

no forum will allow copyrighted materials to be posted
and you wont be kicked off unless you keep doing it

there are other ways to share this type of info and not put the forum at risk
