Rockman, I hope you know that my post was not an attack of you. Not at all!!! I think it's great that the RS fans who cannot afford a copy of Tarle's Exile (if they can even find a copy for sale) can see most of the photographs from the book thanks to you. I don't care if you post Exile in its entirety on this board or any other.
That said, let's be honest: When someone asks in his/her subject line for you to "post Exile", he/she isn't asking for you to post photos from other articles about Exile & the Nellcote days. They are asking for you to post photos from the Exile book itself. I own a copy of Exile and am well aware of what photos are in it. I also own a copy of Ethan Russell's LIB. Not the paperback version but rather the oversized hardcover version. I bought those items when I was employed. Now that I have leukemia and cannot work, the money is less abundant.
I am annoyed that when there is something new published about the Stones, especially photo books, and someone posts photos from it on this board, certain individuals clamor for their removal based on copyright. EDIT: I am talking specifically about when smeone started a thread about the Jim Marshall RS book.
Post everything, okay. Post nothing, okay. But to say we don't honor copyright for this book but we do honor it for this other book is rather disingenuous.
Now, if you would like to email me privately with a few scans from the Marshall book, I would be forever grateful.
