JD Salinger is a historical figure, there is no difference between asking for
pictures of Salinger than there would be in asking for pictures of Kennedy,
Charlie Chaplin or Babe Ruth.
I know that people on the list are afraid to mention almost anything here
because Salinger's lawyers are waiting to get them. I didn't ask for copies
of his work, just pictures.
If that bothers you, I'd suggest that your conscience would be better served
dropping off of the list, because the web page for this mailing list has
pictures of covers of books and magazines relating to Salinger. No copyright
listing on them either. No way that the artists who designed the covers or
the publishers who printed them could make any money off of that.
So, if my "requests for copyright violations" here upsets you, I can't
imagine how you could still be part of this group without being a hypocrite.
OK?
