Sure, when a company tries to stop the dissemination of
information on the net, that information usually goes
underground. But that's besides the point, in my opinion.
I don't want to have to beg people to send me instruction scans
by email, and I don't want to have to go poking around hotline
servers or the like to find them, when I can now just follow a
link from the lugnet/pause set database directly to
brickshelf.com.
Driving information underground doesn't really do a
community any good. I'd rather it not happen.
