Copyright is not violated at BAMA!

READ THE LAW!

in essence...
Public archive is specifically allowed under US copyright law.
The determining factors are that:
Copyright notices are preserved.
It is open to the public, not just a select group.
There is no charge for use.

The person selling paper copies is in violation, NOT Ken!!!
