If you have some equipment surely it would reasonable to have the

How the manuals are obtained is open to debate but not if you have the

Years ago I needed a HP service manual for a
plotter I was trying to
repair that I owned. HP of course wouldn't let me have it, so I had
to buy a PDF copy from someone on eBay. I ended up removing the
password and posting it on my website.
That's called "stealing".

of it turned free, the better.
