Pirated Repair Manuals on Ebay.....
 

Has anyone seen the CD-Rom repair manual for the
83-84 on ebay??? I ordered one and its just a burned copy in a plastic sleeve!!! It contains pdf files that appear to be pages from a manual that were scanned in and copied to disc. The seller's id is sselectauto and his feedback history is TERRIBLE. Unfortunately, I didn't look into that until after I had won the auction...

Does anyone know what format these cd-rom manuals SHOULD come in? Shouldn't there be photos, etc???

Be warned of this guy.

Yea this topic went around the SA22 mailing list last year. I think he actually stole K. Wrights hosted copy off the web and is making $ off it. Look in the FAQ sticky for links to the online manuals.

Gotcha. Will do. Thanks.

Yeah. i donwloaded the manual off the net. All it is, is the manual from mazda showing the parts and numbers.

I dunno, you didn't look at the persons feedback before you bid? WTF? No wonder people get away with scams so often...

Hey, I've got beachfront property in Idaho on eBay, maybe you'd be interested?

i'd like to have a part numbers catalogue. where can this be had??

You can also get the repair manual if you look in the right places :).

EDIT: I guess I was wrong, you cant get them anymore :(.

No theyre on Iluvmy5x7 still TJ.

Here is where to get the download.

Hope it helps

Which begs the question. Are K. Wrights hosted copies legal and/or in violation of copyright law?

thanks a ton, man!! i'll get those downloaded asap!

It could be argued that since Mazda doesn't sell them to Rx-7 owners, that it falls under the educational clause of fair use. Especially since we are most assuredly using it for educational purposes.

This is definitely Mazda's intellectual property though, and selling it is almost assuredly against copyright law.

Beyond that - things get complicated, so I took the "easy" path. :D

i love working at kinkos!!! i have all these printable docs. printed and bound all nice!!!! it rocks!!!
