Subject:
Out of copyright texts being vandalised?
After reading the document, I decided the following is relevant too.
They are saying if THEY can not make money from a particular text because the copyright has expired, then us people can have our rights to download it for free, but out of spite, we are going to scribble all over the book in question, so its no use to you anyway.
So there!!!!!!!
That's vandalism.
