Seems to me (and I ain't speaking for anyone else, just myself here, you have to decide for yourself what is right, no matter how clear cut it seems to me) that scanning and passing around instructions is taking revenue away from the manufacturer. That's true whether it's TLC, Megablocks or BestLock. I see no reason to treat TLC better than the clones in this regard, no matter that the clones aren't as good as TLC. The principle remains the same, don't you think? Or maybe it's OK to cheat on your taxes, if only a little, just not a lot? (1) Sometimes it's rather inconvenient to see everything as black and white as I do, because you can't just rationalize away the small stuff at the edges. Some may say "geez, it's only a few scans" but it's a matter of kind, not degree. I see it as clear cut wrong, unless someone were to secure some sort of clearance from BestLock. I can't very well expect people not to scan the instructions to my hopper and not pass them around if I'm not willing to afford the same protection to my competition, as it were... 1 - alert readers will recall that I personally feel it IS ok to cheat on your taxes to whatever degree you think you can get away with, because, after all, taxation is theft. But I've made a "kind" decision on that, not a "degree" decisions. Degree decisions are always wrong in my simplistic morality.
