Regardless... I can definitely see a company

as collectors should be first and foremost in honoring those copyrights, or

ease up on old gear... but, we should rigorously maintain their copyrights
as well. That being said, I'm hard pressed to imagine them complaining about
really old manuals for gear they haven't made in decades. But that's a moot
point - have to work inside the guidelines of the law.
The letter is pretty suspicious. Two typos and not very "lawerly". Sent
by e-mail? Not withstanding the assumption that the BAMA folks have
actually replied to the message and confirmed it's real. Does anyone know
if this has happened?
